Very versatile this bowl is beautiful- the outside is kind of scalloped but smooth inside. I have an extensive collection of polish pottery and these are my favorite Hand made and hand painted in Poland. Microwave, dishwasher and oven safe Great used condition for smoke free, pet free home. No sign of wear. Bowls stack inside each other for space. Will sell individually for 28 each because the are all hand painted the blues are a little differently
