Hot enough for ya? We’re being smothered by a heat wave here in New York, and since I can’t take the heat, I’ve gotten out of the kitchen, literally. (There’s no way I’m slaving over a hot stove today!) Something light and juicy like fruit salad sounds perfect, and I’ve found just the bowl for it.

cantaloupe bowls

Vegatabowls are slip-cast earthenware bowls molded from real fruit. The Cantaloupe Bowl looks so lifelike, guests may think you scooped out the melon yourself. And if it’s still scorching at lunchtime, Vegatabowls also has the perfect vessel for some refreshing gazpacho. Too cool.

    Those cantaloupe bowls are beautiful! Here is an easy recipe for cold cantaloupe soup that would look fantastic in those bowls and would be perfect for a hot summer day:

    BTW, did you know that today is "Hot Enough for Ya Day"? I kid you not! I'd say it's WAY too hot for me today!

    • Briana@HGTV says:

      Wow, that cantaloupe soup sounds so creamy and elegant. And yes, perfect for the bowls. :)

      Haha, no! I didn't know about that holiday! What a coincidence. I'm going to change the "you" up there to "ya" to reflect that.

    Oh, I'm in the mood for cold strawberry soup! Love those bowls.

  4. CDChilds says:

    I can just taste the canaloupe from these wonderful bowls. They would be perfect in a sunny afternoon garden party!

  5. Liz@HGTV says:

    I'm not a big fan of cantaloupe flavor, so I can definitely say I'm a bigger fan of these faux-fruit bowls than of the real thing. Just another thing to add to my Etsy wishlist!

    i LOVE them!

  7. Lindsey says:

    Love them. I would use them for sure.

    Are you kidding me?! $72.00 for a set of 4 comes out to $18.00 per bowl, and they're tiny too! Only 5.5 x 2.75 inches each. My spouse would have to work 2 long, hard hours per bowl. No Way, thanks but no thanks, Cute Bowls!

      We have several sizes of the cantaloupe bowls…the ones pictured here are 5 3/4" wide x 3 1/2" tall and they are a great size for cereal, fruit salads, and ice cream! Each bowl is carefully handmade and is dishwasher safe and very durable.

  9. Donna S. says:

    Ridiculous price for something so tiny. I'll look for them in Tuesday Morning next year!

    • Diane L. says:

      these are hand made not mass produced so you will NOT see them at tuesday morning-try to appreciate the time and idea put into these!!

  10. eastcoastelite says:

    Meh…no, I do not like them. But I should say that I'm not a fan of having a lot of "stuff" in my house so I'm pretty particular about what I actually do buy.

    • guest says:

      I agree- too little for too much money for virtually nothing! And who eats cantaloupe out of a real bowl? Isn't that why they have a hide-like skin?

  11. DetroitKelly says:

    They are pretty, but they look like they are prone to tip over. How flat are the bottoms? How many ounces do they hold? The close-up makes them look rather large, but the measurements seem weird….

    • VEGETABOWLS says:

      Our bowls are very durable and not prone to tipping over at all. They are made to withstand everyday use and are dishwasher safe. The bowls pictured here are 5 3/4" wide x 3 1/2" tall, a great size for lots of foods!

  12. Diann says:

    I dont like them at all. But thats me lol. Theme items after awhile get put back in some corner . Plain and simple for me plus their too pricey .

  13. Liz says:

    Don't care for them at all ! Such a waste of money –

  14. cheryl says:

    they're fun! design should be fun!

  15. denine says:

    A one time party event, then pass them on and on etc….

  16. Amanda says:

    I think they're cute! I like to make real cantaloupe bowls and put vanilla ice cream in the center once you dig out and get rid of the seeds in the middle-this would make it easier!

  17. Amanda says:

    I think they are adorable and highly functional. I use mine everyday. I think the price is extremely reasonable given that a skilled artisan has carefully hand crafted each one. You know the saying " you get what you pay for" and these are certainly worth the money.
