I love this bowl! Since I received it - well wrapped and professionally shipped - I have used it every day. It is the perfect piece. Whenever I go into my kitchen I am compelled to use it somehow - with cereal, ice cream, soup, etc. The design is classically beautiful and goes with any decor. I think I am going to start a collection... Pros: Exceptional quality, easy to hand wash, very durable Cons: I wish they made a bigger size for bigger portions.
