The “Lovely” Vintage-Inspired Lenox Bowls Amazon Shoppers Are Loving (They’re Only $13!)

Even though big items like furniture are usually the first things I notice in other people’s homes, what I get most excited about seeing are all of the little details that make a space feel thoughtfully curated. There are few things I find as admirable as when someone wholeheartedly commits to an aesthetic, even if it’s not one I personally vibe with. For example, if a friend is into a ‘70s retro look, I enjoy seeing that reflected in everything from their living room rug to their coffee mugs. 

Maybe you like a French countryside or vintage-inspired interior decor style, in which case, you’re in luck. You don’t even have to go antiquing to find bits and bobs that’ll fit right in with your other rustic home accessories. Amazon is loaded with plenty of options, including these French perle groove bowls from Lenox. Not only are they adorable, but at $13 for a set of three, they’re also a steal.

You’ll notice that the product name for these bowls includes the word “mini,” and they are, indeed, that. (If you’re after soup bowls, you’ll want to try a different set.) These measure 4 inches wide and 4 inches tall, so they’re more suitable for serving desserts or coffee table snacks. Now that spring is here, the bowls would definitely come in handy for desserts like sorbets and fruit cobblers.

The bowls are available in two colorways: white and multicolored, which includes a white, green, and blue bowl. Each one has a weathered finish and charming grooved pattern, making them feel right at home in Provence (or your kitchen). Although the bowls are made of a stoneware material and described as dishwasher- and microwave-safe, some reviewers have reported that their bowls arrived broken. If that’s the case for you, though, you have the option of a free return or replacement before 30 days.

Average Rating: 4.5/5

“I love these little stoneware bowls. They are the size of a small prep bowl, holding a little more than 3/4 cup. Perfect for the kitchen but so attractive with the elegant lines and the rustic faux aging that I have a hard time keeping them there… Decorative but food safe, they are perfect for candy or nuts on the coffee table. One does double duty in the bathroom next to the sink to hold my rings. The only thing wrong with them is that there are too many uses for just three bowls. I might have to get another set, maybe one of the ombré color assortment.” — Placeholder

“These are just what I was looking for! I had been on the hunt for small dessert bowls for some time. These Lenox bowls are about the size of half an orange. Good for cut fruit, a scoop or two of ice cream, yogurt, dips etc. I bought 12 (four sets) altogether, so I have enough for dinner parties or holiday guests. Mine all arrived well-packaged. Each set was in double bubble wrap, and there were thin foam dividers between each bowl, as well… If you are looking for small dishes to match farm, rustic, French or cottage decor, these would blend well with them all.” — Jennifer

“These are small — good for dips or garnishes… They are heavy enough for daily use and special enough for those holidays or other celebrations that require dressier tableware. I love the colors. They are very muted and classy…” — K.C.

If your dishware collection could use a refresh, give these cute little bowls a go. They’re surefire compliment-getters, no matter how small or subtle they might initially seem.
