These beautiful bowls sit on my table 24/7, atop place mats and with "rustic" glasses.  A center piece finished out the look.  Not only am I extremely pleased with it, but my husband likes it also!  He had been using the dining room table as an all-purpose desk, catch-all, and a place to put junk.  Not anymore!  Yay! It's the one room in my house that always looks neat, and serene.
