Schale 11 cm Noa vs. Schale 23 cm Noa: Welche Größe brauchen Sie?

Quick answer

Choose the 11 cm Noa bowl for desserts, sides, and small portions, and the 23 cm Noa bowl for soup, salad, pasta, or shared serving. If you want one bowl that covers most meals, the 23 cm size is the more versatile pick.

Diameter is the only supplied difference

Both bowls come from the same modern Noa line by Chodzież, with a clean, undecorated surface and microwave- and dishwasher-safe construction. The catalog lists only one difference: diameter. The 11 cm bowl is small; the 23 cm bowl is more than twice as wide. That size gap changes how much food fits and how the bowl feels in hand, even though the material and care instructions are the same.

Because the catalog does not supply depth, capacity in milliliters, or weight, you cannot compare exact volumes from the listing alone. Treat the diameters as a starting point and judge capacity by the foods you plan to serve.

Where the 11 cm bowl works best

At 11 cm, this is a small porcelain bowl suited to desserts, sides, and small servings. It fits a scoop of ice cream, a portion of berries, a side of olives, or a small dip. It is less practical as a main soup or pasta bowl because the narrow diameter limits how much liquid or food it can hold.

The small size also makes it a useful accent on a table setting or a compact dish for condiments. If you often serve small portions, a set of these bowls covers more ground than one large bowl.

Where the 23 cm bowl works best

At 23 cm, this is a large serving bowl suited to soup, salad, pasta, and shared dishes. The wider opening gives room to stir and portion food, and it works as a casual serving piece at the center of the table. For everyday meals, it can double as a main-course bowl for one person.

The trade-off is counter and shelf space: a 23 cm bowl takes up more room than an 11 cm one, and a single large bowl is less useful for small desserts or sides. If you mostly serve small portions, the larger bowl may feel oversized.

The trade-off: one large bowl or several small ones

Buying the 23 cm bowl gives you one versatile serving piece, but it does not replace small bowls for dessert or sides. Buying the 11 cm bowl gives you portion control and flexibility for small courses, but it will not hold a full serving of soup or pasta. The practical choice depends on whether your meals center on shared serving dishes or on individual small portions.

Trade-offs at a glance

• Capacity vs. portion control: The 23 cm bowl holds more food for soup, salad, or pasta, but it is harder to use for small desserts or sides. The 11 cm bowl keeps portions small and controlled, but it cannot hold a full main-course serving. Match the bowl to your most common portion size, not to the occasional meal.
• Serving vs. individual use: The 23 cm bowl works as a shared serving dish at the center of the table. The 11 cm bowl works as an individual dish for dessert, sides, or condiments. If you often serve family-style, the 23 cm bowl earns its space; if you mostly plate individual portions, the 11 cm bowl is more useful.
• Storage and table space: The 23 cm bowl takes up more shelf and table space than the 11 cm bowl. The 11 cm bowl is easier to store in multiples and fits compact settings. Measure your shelf and table space before choosing the larger size.
