This beautiful serving bowl with a gold stand, which I ordered through the Tried and True program is absolutely gorgeous. I hesitated to get it because I thought it might look a little too fancy for my house. At one time my home was decorated with a primitivecountry theme, but my taste has changed quite a bit. I didn’t know where I was going to put it when I added it to my cart but just thought it was very elegant. When I received it, I was quite surprised at how large it was. Once again, I am horrible at checking dimensions, but after taking it out of the box and putting on its stand, I found a couple of places where I thought it looked really pretty. If you have an oblong dining room table, which I have in my formal dining room, it looks beautiful, especially if you have a runner on the table. I think that you could use it seasonal and put different colored orbsballs in it. Right now I plan to look for some patriotic, red, white, and blue, orbs to use now until the end of July. I definitely feel that it is one of those items that would need a specific location and would not look good just anywhere. As I said before, it’s beautiful, elegant, and large! I highly recommend it.
