The most common material from which salad bowls are made — porcelain, glass, crystal, faience. All of them are environmentally friendly, easily cleaned of pollution, capable of serving for a long time (if you do not drop the dishes on the floor). Glass and porcelain are most popular, crystal is slightly less, due to its high cost. Plastic plates can only be placed on the table in everyday life. But this is an extra waste of money, cheap plastic is not practical and even harmful to health, there is a risk that the bowl will crack after a couple of applications.
