This beautiful bowl was created using the blooms and leaves from Dogwood trees. Each bloom and leaf is hand cut and then the individual pieces are creatively used to form and shape the bowl. The glaze is food safe. The bowl is microwave and dishwasher safe, also, so it's beautiful and useful! I will package the bowl like I would want to receive it and ship it priority mail. The bowl pictured is the bowl you will receive and I will mail it within 24 hours of the time of purchase. Thank you for yo
