The bowl is well made; the glass is thick and of good quality and the weight is well balanced. The decoration is neat. The lid is good and fits well on top of the bowl. Nice color, a certain shade of blue. The bowl also has a decent "feel" to it when you hold it. It looks kind of better in real life than in the pictures, in my opinion. Which is a good thing. I ordered 2 of these and I'm quite satisfied with the purchase. :)
