I had been looking for a large, blue and white pasta serving bowl forever when I came upon the beautiful, Garland design bowl. The colors are vibrant and the size makes it ideal for serving pasta or salad (I have used it for both) I received numerous compliments on the beauty of the bowl, and I was pleased to tell everyone where I got it. I also purchased the matching individual bowls and they too are just as beautiful, with rich blues and whites. My table looked great!
