Beautiful piece, Jim. I think I preferred it taller. Reminded me of a dessert my grandmother always made for the holidays which was topped with whipped cream and cherries.

I agree that cutting off the top of the original bowl was the way to go. The mother of pearl was overpowering and needed to be subdued, which the removal of the top inch accomplished. The globes remind me of maraschino cherries and definitely add interest to the bowl. It ended up being a very nice bowl.
