I bought this bowl thinking that I would be big enough for all the fruit that usually buy for my house. Well, it was not big enough. My husband told me before I bought it but I took the chance anyway. You can place about three oranges, four apples, 5 kiwis and three banana. We consume lots, lots and lots of fruits so this bowl is not big enough for the purpose that I wanted for. I do have to say the bowl was elegant enough for me to keep it! The shape it gives it a uniqueness!!! It looks great on top of kitchen countertop! I definitely recommend this item if you are looking for something elegant, different and unique to display.
