I was truly surprised at the superior quality-well made!  I thought at that low  price, it would look cheap. NOT!  I was so pleased.   It looks flat in the picture but I read someone's review that said it wasn't. It is bowl shaped, (convex)which adds to its beauty.   Quite a conversation piece when we have friends over! Don't hesitate to buy it! You will be very happy that you made this purchase!
