Got these to use as small salt cellars for a long family holiday table setup. They are perfect for that and in between large gatherings are attractive enough to leave out on display. My daughter appropriated one to hold her rings on her bedside table.
I guess I was kind of hoping that the bowl would be just a bit bigger, but even so, it's really beautiful! I enjoy the cheery look of it, and it really is substantial enough to be actually used, not just put in a display case to view.
