The Rest of the Story...
I call the large, simply cut bowl on the right the "Wedding Bowl." That's because we give them to newlyweds. I have enough downstairs to give to all of my neices and nephews, except the great nephew born last month. It's a great buy at $69 in Crystal Lake. The blue trimmed bowl on the left costs $69. It is from Poland.
