Sometimes, less is more - and the subtle personalization on the bottom of this bowl is a case in point. The 10" diameter and 5" depth mean that this is a serving bowl (or salad bowl, or centerpiece bowl, or fruit bowl or pot-pourri holder, or floating candle aquarium - we try and not be too dogmatic in our descriptions) with some heft & gravitas, so the understated personalization offers a neat counterpoint.
