Are you wondering why you can't see the bowl in the ad picture??  I ordered this set and chose to keep it despite the fact that they've clearly stamped the flowers on the bowl upside down , and then chose to not show you before your purchase.  Set is really beautiful and it's possible the blue is even more vibrant than it is in the pictures which is why I kept it.  5 stars for quality (sturdy, no chips, arrived on time) but I had to take stars off for truth in advertising.
