New – Sasaki Crystal Wings Large Bowl – 10 1/2” in diameter. Famous romantic frosted dove motif. A perfect gift. Rather heavy. Originally $175, priced at $80. I have additional Sasaki Wings items: champagne flutes, water/wine glasses, cordial glasses, plates, bowls, 7 ½ “ candlestick holders and 9 ½ “ candlestick holders.
