This bowl is beautiful. It is big and deep. It is exactly what I wanted. It looks great in my kitchen. The only issue is that the base  does not properly line up with the bowl. The base has 4 prongs two of the prongs are bent in a way that does not make contact with the bottom of the bowl. There is no way to bend them because they are really thick and they could possibly break and make things worse. It is a good thing the bowl still sits securely on the base. Otherwise I would have had yo send it back. Luckily, it all worked out.
