****READ***** THIS BOWL DOES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT CRACK that runs across the pedestal base that previous owner fixed and glued back together . It is an obvious crack and I personally don't think the fix was done very well because of how obvious it is. It is still sturdy and stands fine without wobbling . Regardless this is still a beautiful piece . The price was adjusted to reflect the flaw . If this was not flawed I would listed it between $120-$175 range as this is what these pieces sell for. See pics .
