I used this beautiful bowl for the first time. Everything seemed fine until I tried to get it off the stand. It was stuck there! I called the suppport line and they said to use mineral oil and hot compresses. I used pan spray and a hot towel to loosen it and yes, this worked but it's not a relaxing experience. Also, as you can see in the photo that it doesn't have a handle. It came in a box with a photo of the bowl with a handle. Even though I was not expecting a handle, it made me feel like I am missing out.
