The 150ml black nibbles bowls
The Friendly nibbles bowls by APS in black have a 10cm diameter, a 4.5cm height and a 150ml capacity: they are the largest in the range. The material is post-consumer recycled PET. They stack, they go in the dishwasher and they are sold in a pack of 6.
Where they belong
On the table of a cocktail bar, where what comes with the drink is included in the price and has to look chosen. A glass kitchen bowl beside a Negroni lowers the level of the serve. Matt black sits with the coaster, the menu and the dark top.
On the terrace and at the poolside, where glass and ceramic are often not allowed. Here rigid plastic is a condition, not a preference: a bowl that falls on the tiles is picked up and washed, and nobody has to close an area to look for splinters.
What to serve in 150ml nibbles bowls
A hundred and fifty millilitres is, as a guide to use, a portion for two: crisps, pretzels, toasted corn, vegetable crisps. Pale and golden snacks show well on black. Black olives and dark chocolate merge with the base, and for those the white version is the better choice.
At 10cm across, the bowl takes a whole hand, so it is the size for anything eaten by the handful. For a single portion of olives or nuts the range has the 50ml bowls, and for sauces the 20ml pots: three sizes, one for each thing that leaves the bar with the drink.

What the bowls are made from
APS gives the material of the Friendly collection as post-consumer recycled PET, recyclable at the end of its life. It is rigid plastic, and lighter than porcelain or thick melamine. Carrying a full tray, the difference is in the wrist. On the ground it is plainer: the bowl does not shatter, so it is collected and put back in the wash.
That matters to a venue in two ways. An overturned tray does not close a passage between tables for five minutes. And small tableware is the first to disappear, so replacement counts: the APS code remains the same in the catalogue, and the reorder is the same shape with no second, different set on the shelf.
Care
The bowls are dishwasher safe, declared by the manufacturer, and go in the rack with the glasses. The microwave is excluded by APS, and they are not for heating. Being stackable, the six in a pack come out of the wash as one pile for the back bar shelf, beside the coasters.
Six to a pack
The Friendly nibbles bowls are sold in packs of six, and the price is for the pack. The working rule is one bowl for every two seats, doubled to cover washing time. Having every bowl the same keeps the shelf simple: one stack, one colour.
The more you buy, the less you pay: 4 packs -5%, 6 -7%, 8 -10%, on the same item. The discount applies automatically in the basket.
Black or white
Black hides marks of use better than white, and in venues with a high turnover that is an argument. White gives the table more light by day. The same size in white is the 150ml white bowl, and the two stack together. For olives, limes and cherries on the bar there are the trays in the garnish trays and condiment holders category.
For drinks at home
At home the black bowls are the ones to take into the garden or onto the balcony without a second thought. They travel stacked in the bag with the glasses, hold crisps for two, and at the end of the evening go back in the dishwasher.
