A serving bowl is a large, deep dish that is used to hold food for serving. It can be made from various materials such as ceramic, glass, plastic or metal and comes in different shapes and sizes depending on its intended use. Serving bowls are commonly used at parties, gatherings, and events to serve salads, soups, stews, casseroles, pasta dishes, and other foods that need a large serving capacity. They can also be used for decorative purposes or as centerpieces on tables during special occasions.
