This is the sort of thing they sell afa crockery goes.

Not bad for $3.40 the lot. I think it would have been around $60 if I had bought them at Lucky's.

You did not get the white bowls with red inside. I bought two, 8-9 others were damaged. Yes, you can find some cheap stuff but for the most part you need impaired eye-sight for the colors etc.


My remark about the supermarket referred to Samudera in SHV. All white stuff, good choice, and excellent prices. Plus formats I did not see at the PP shop. No large bowls. Samudera less than 2 USD.


Good that you found that you were looking for but many might find the shop rather underwhelming and wanting.

Yeah, I bought my old stuff from Samudera. Much nicer designs, but at $3 I'm not complaining. I quite like the colours myself.

Another option for this stuff is the Bangkok Shop on E4 of Sorya Mall beside the food court.

When you are happy with the colours on your plate, no mater how badly you cook your food ,,, you can still be happy with it.

Ain't life great.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Duncan another of your post that reflect your way of deep thinking. I m glad your not in command of a ship as your passengers would have to walk all the way.

The one thing you do not want is a damaged piece - particularly brown color. Why? Brown is produced with arsenic. Other color pigments can also be highly toxic. So if you coffee mug or bowl etc. has a crack or some other damage - the waste bin it is. Be good to your health - in case that still matters.
