This Lenox Serving Bowl is one of the most gorgeous bowls ever !! Note the measurements. It is low but 10.75 inches wide. I placed a large serving of mashed potatoes in it for Thanksgiving dinner. This was the first time I was able to put all of one food in a serving bowl at the same time. Everyone wanted to know where the bowl was purchased. When I ordered it, I also has in mind this would be something beautiful to pass on to my daughters. I will plan to purchase more pieces out of this collection !!!
