"I get a lot of compliments on how cute this bowl is. Yes it is a very light green background, not white. But just as described."

— Stephanie

"We ordered 4 bowls from this company. All had tiny chips, one was unusable, which Chewy replaced. However, the remaining bowls all revealed themselves to have flaws, and all are now chipped and cracked throughout. i would not recommend buying from this company."
