Aunt E only used this bowl during special occasions.  If it didn't hold fruit it was used during Christmas and held her famous, homemade pecan, popcorn balls (YUM).   .Its based is a ring of crystal balls, which is an elegant contrast to the ribbed patterned bowl. The dimensions are 19" in diameter and 4" in height.  If you're laying out a classic table display, this is the bowl for you.
