I bought this bowl 6 years ago. And I dropped it in my deep stainless steel sink. It has a hairline crack that I covered with clear packing tape. I use it to felt kats Haircare products. I just reordered another one. I love it’s pouring spout and lid. I personally PREFER this bowl over the SS. Just keep in mind.., it is glass. It will break if dropped. But overall, I love handling it over the SS bowl. Handle with care & you’ll hv no issues. Get slippery fingers and it will crack or break like any other glass equipment... I recommend it for ppl who are using it to make skincare/haircare products... the lid is perfect when allowing extra time for formulas to “gel” 
Or “set up émulsions” is needed! A must purchase!!!!!
