I want to use this bowl as a decorative piece and would love to get some ideas on what other people put in it. So far, I've seen salad and fruit.

I've been using mine for salad, but there are many possibilities for this lovely bowl... a small sand garden with a couple decorative rocks, or fill with water and a floating candle or two, or fill with rose petals, or small musical instruments like hand shakers, or small balls of yarn or other decorative crafts supplies, or folded cloth napkins, or colored decorative balls or rocks....

Lynn, there are two sizes of bowls. One is a small dessert or soup bowl and holds about 8 ounces (with a little splash room). What is advertised as a SALAD bowl, as I recall - holds at least 48 ounces. I should have read the reviews - I ordered them and returned them - I do have three but I use them as SERVING bowls. Unless you like GIGANTIC personal salads. I clicked on the link under the photo at left - and it is definitely the smaller bowl. 24 is a lot - but we use them for everything and really love this glassware - very durable and lovely.

I think it would be wonderful. I have used this one for a layered salad. It is beautiful.

Unfortunately, I have not found any. But I've found a few basic plain white/cream serving bowls, platters that don't look to bad with the setting. Luckily I think the place setting is simple enough to go with just about anything in the same color family.

It is a shallow bowl, like a pasta or salad bowl, the bottom is like a plate that has a thin circle lip, not totally flat. If your pedestal is not too much smaller than the bowl.

It doesn't say on the bowl either way. I'd ask the seller/manufacturer. Sorry.

Which bowls are you referring to....dessert (very small) or the salad bowls (much larger)?

Mine has 3 oranges, 3 plums, a mango and banana. Could fit 2 decent sized apples too.

My husband is on a fruit craze right now...we are able to place close to a dozen of different fruits (apples, pears, oranges) in the bottom basket.

I would recommend a wooden bowl. The blade is very sharp and could crack/break glass and using a plastic bowl might get plastic shavings in the food. You could probably also use a metal mixing bowl if you don't mind getting scratches in your mixing bowl.

Sorry for such a late response, it slipped our in box. Not, this bowl is not covered. It is just as pictured. We do have some other serving dishes that are though.

Joann, Sorry Took So Long! The Bowl Holds A Lot! It Is Very Attractive. However, It Is Quite Heavy & It's Not Something You'd Want To Pass Around!! It Is Very Nice!!!!!!!!!! Kat

It does not appear to git out bowls. I have been very unsatisfied with the product makes a mess and waists food. I have tried zucchini, squash carrots and sweet potatoes with little luck. White potatoes do ok on wide slices.

I use a salad plate to my corelle dishes. Works fine. I have even used a paper plate.

I am sorry, I gave it away to my daughter. I wanted a big, light weight bowl for mixing a large salad with dressing, marinating meat etc. It is great for my purposes, but I can't measure it. Nancy

Sorry, can't measure as we're in NY and bowl is in FL. However, to give you an example of what it holds, I cut 2 quarts of strawberries in chunks and then added a pint of blueberries. All fit without a problem. These bowls could be used as a side dishes for a gathering of six to ten guests. The bowls are generous but not mixing bowl huge and look lovely on the table.
