Compare the two Le Gigogne coupelle sizes – 21cl and 31cl – to find the perfect stackable glass bowl for sauces, desserts, or family salads.
Quick answer
Choose the 21cl (10.5cm) Le Gigogne coupelle for individual sauces, desserts, or appetizers; pick the 31cl (12cm) size when you need a larger bowl for side salads, punch, or family-style servings.
Why size matters for stackable bowls
The Le Gigogne collection is famous for its rounded, harmonious lines and the two distinctive traits that make it instantly recognizable. Both sizes stack perfectly, saving cupboard space. The main difference is capacity: 21cl versus 31cl. Your choice depends on what you plan to serve and how many people you're hosting.
Trade-off: capacity vs. versatility
The 21cl coupelle is ideal for single portions – a dipping sauce, a scoop of ice cream, or a small fruit salad. It stacks neatly and takes up less room. The 31cl version gives you more volume for side dishes, punch, or a family salad, but it is slightly wider, so it occupies more space in the cupboard and on the table. Both are equally stackable and share the same iconic design.
Which size should you buy?
- 21cl (10.5cm) – for single servings: Best for sauces, dips, individual desserts, or small appetizers. It stacks easily and fits in tight cupboards.
- 31cl (12cm) – for family-style servings: Great for side salads, punch, larger desserts, or sharing bowls. Slightly wider but still fully stackable.
- Mix and match both sizes: A set of 21cl for individual needs and a set of 31cl for larger dishes gives you flexibility for any occasion without redundancy. Consider buying both sizes if you entertain often or want to cover both small and large servings.
