The post war version was 40cms and differs only in the diameter to this the earlier example. As suggested the design benefits from being displayed on a stand whilst I have seen the same bowl used as a table centrepiece with floating floral displays.

Should you decide to do the same it is worth remembering to limit such use to a few days and then carefully rinsing with clean .lukewarm .water within a large plastic bowl lined with foam plastic and drying immediately- better safe than sorry!
