A 15cm bowl for side salads and dips. A 20cm bowl for individual servings. A 25cm bowl for family-sized salads. A 30cm bowl for buffet service. Same bowl, different sizes, different uses – one product family that covers a lot of ground.

The global salad bowls market is valued at USD 8.7 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a 5.2% CAGR through 2034, reaching USD 13.2 billion. The broader glass tableware market was valued at USD 14 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a 4% CAGR to reach USD 20.7 billion by 2035.

Four sizes. One design.

The mid-priced range between USD 25 and USD 50 held 54% share in 2025 in the glass tableware market, benefiting from a strong balance between affordability and perceived quality. Salad bowls in this segment offer reliable performance, modern features, and acceptable durability without premium pricing.

What's in the box:

• Crystal-clear soda-lime glass – lead-free, food-grade, FDA and LFGB compliant. No green tint, no cloudiness.

• Thickened rim – reinforced edge reduces chipping, the most common failure point in commercial tableware.

• Reinforced base – wider base for stability, less tipping on tables.

• Stackable design – saves storage space in commercial kitchens and retail warehouses.

• Smooth, easy-clean surface – non-porous, doesn't absorb odours or stains.

Glass options:

• Soda-lime glass – cost-effective, crystal-clear. Industry standard for serving bowls.

• Borosilicate glass – thermal shock resistant. Handles temperature changes from refrigerator to microwave. Available on request.

• Tempered glass – enhanced durability for high-turnover commercial environments. Available on request.

Design options:

• Clear – classic, shows food colours accurately

• Frosted – soft, diffused appearance

• Coloured – amber, smoke, blue, or custom tints

• Textured / Embossed – ribbed, hammered, or patterned finishes

The hospitality sector plays a vital role in shaping demand patterns, as foodservice operators prioritize tableware that enhances presentation and complements dining experiences. Research shows that the shape, colour, material, and design of dinnerware have a significant impact on a customer's desire for different types of food – it's much more enticing to eat a salad in a bowl than straight out of a box.

Customization options:

• Custom sizes beyond the standard range

• Custom shapes – round, square, oval, or specialty designs

• Custom finishes – clear, frosted, coloured, textured, ribbed, embossed

• Logo engraving or printing on the glass

• Private labeling and custom packaging

• Bulk export cartons, colour box, or gift box with branding

FAQ

What's the difference between the 15cm, 20cm, 25cm, and 30cm sizes?
Capacity and use case. 15cm is for side salads and dips. 20cm is the standard individual serving size – this is the volume leader. 25cm is for family-sized salads and pasta. 30cm is for buffet displays and large gatherings.

What's the difference between soda-lime and borosilicate glass for salad bowls?
Soda-lime glass is cost-effective, crystal-clear, and suitable for room-temperature and refrigerated serving. It's the industry standard for serving bowls. Borosilicate glass handles extreme temperature changes – from refrigerator to microwave – without cracking. It costs more, but it's the better choice for bowls that go from fridge to microwave. We offer both – your buyers choose based on their application.

Are these bowls dishwasher-safe?
Yes. Both soda-lime and borosilicate glass bowls handle commercial dishwasher cycles without clouding or weakening. This is a key requirement for restaurant, hotel, and catering buyers – KINGSTAR GLASSWARE builds for it.

Are the bowls stackable?
Yes. The uniform design allows for stable stacking – saves space in commercial kitchens, retail warehouses, and shipping containers. More units per carton, lower shipping costs.

Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. Sample fee applies, refundable on first bulk order. Shipping cost on you.
