The octopus bowl is my first purchase from this manufacturer.  I saw a picture of a table all set for Summer and there it was, but it was out of stock.  They notified me by e-mail that it was in and I placed my order.  The bowl is exactly what I expected and came well packaged.  It arrived in perfect condition.  I love it and I will be ordering more for gifts.  I'm waiting for my second notification and I can see why it sells out.
