5 out of 5 starsWow! I am impressed with the bowl I ordered as well as the service. I ordered it on Friday night & received it on Monday beautifully and safely packaged. The bowl is even more gorgeous than it appeared in the online photo. I love it! I ordered it as a gift & decided to keep it for myself after I saw it. Love, love, love!
