Please carefully examine all pictures before purchasing. The pictures are an important part of the description, and usually include important measurements. Items are in good pre-owned condition unless otherwise noted. This nice bowl is is excellent condition structurally, with no chips or cracks. However, at some point some of the gold accents must have worn off, and someone "fixed" it by painting with gold paint on the inside. This could most likely be removed pretty easily to restore it to it's original condition.
