Bubble Bowl

I ordered the 4.5" x 6" because I have a very 'stubby' hydrangea shrub I wanted a small galss bowl to put it's (very short!) cut flower stems in. I read the reviews pretty carefully and appreciated there might be some quality variance, but I got a keeper no question. Reasonable price, size exactly as promised. The glass seems a pretty even 3/16" (I measured from the rim, but the rest of the bowl looks pretty even), so nice and sturdy. No bubble imperfections in the glass (which I wouldn't have minded really; given planned usage). The vendor packaged it very well (nice bubble wrap cushion inside a right-sized box) and Amazon carried through (the vendor's package was placed inside a larger, sturdier box with air pillows). This bowl is perfect for my needs, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Pros: Good price, mine had even clear glass, size/thickness as promised. No visible imperfections on mine, and it's a sturdy little guy. Well wrapped by vendor (though we know Amazon does make a call here for the final exterior package; not the vendor's fault, but I got lucky as Amazon pulled through on their end). The bowl seems sturdy enough I added some stones at the bottom and have no worries about moving around. Cons: None that I can think of. I will say, be aware of the size you need for your use. There are a lot of size/shape options. Items like these are always smaller in real life than they seem online (measure!) and the curve shape of the bowl cuts out *a lot* of interior liquid space. So if you're thinking terrarium, consider the internal space. If you're thinking flowers, be very aware of how long your stems are likely to be. Conclusion: I recommend buying if there's a size that meets your needs. Based on the reviews, I suspect there's some variance in quality of make (or was at one point), but my little bowl was perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again.

Using as a shrimp bowl. Beautiful bowl. I like the magnification effect. Good quality and arrived intact to US. A little expensive but hard to find these.

Great quality. Just had to return because I thought it was smaller.

Beautiful multi-purpose glass bowl! I was a little concerned it may arrive damaged, but it arrived in perfect condition. It was actually boxed/wrapped with extra TLC. Very happy with purchase!

Nice Beautiful HUGE Bowl. Well Packaged For Shipping. Wish The Glass Was Thicker To Feel Comfortable With Filling With More Water. It May Crack Under Pressure, Or When Washing It Out If It Hits Against The Sink. USING AS A FISH BOWL , I Filled With 1/3 Water, Decorated With Small Smooth Rocks, And 1, only 1, Moss Ball ( Can Be Bought On Ebay), For A Beautiful Betta Bowl. Must Have Heater At 77, 78 Degrees For Betta To Stay Warm, AND Change Water Every Third Day Since a Moss Ball is In It. The Moss Ball Makes The Fish Active In A Natural Environment So They Don't Just Lay There. I make sure the water is not too warm so the moss ball can stay nice and not disinegrate and make the fish sick by making the water bad. It is also VERY important to change the water every third day . I have tried other plants but they have not done well since the fish needs a warmer temperature than the plants, and the plants slowly disintegrate making the water slightly fowl. This makes the Betta FINS ROT ! I Add 1 Tsp, Not Too Much, Aquarium Salt To Water For Minerals To Keep Betta Healthy. And A SMALL Piece Of Catappa Indian Almond Leaf That Does Turn Water A Bit Amber In Color, But It Is Good For Keeping Betta From Bacteria On Fins And Health In General. My Betta Is Happy And Builds A Bubble Nest Often. ;-)

Perfect! I purchased it to grow my plants in water, and it’s a very well-made product.

March 2026 - 3 stars: This is still a lovely bowl; however, because it’s hand blown, there is a lot of variability from bowl to bowl. I learned this when I ordered a second one to make another self-watering system and its opening was 4.6 inches in diameter on the inside (over 5” with the lips included), causing the orchid container to fall through (had I let go). My original bowl had an opening of ~4 inches in diameter, with the lip on both sides being thick and taking the top diameter to about 4.6”. I may try ordering one more time and hope I get lucky… or I might see if I can find something more consistent at Michael’s… Update: tried another brand in Amazon that had smaller dimensions than this but not as small as this brand’s size down. January 2026 - 5 stars: Exactly what I wanted to make a self-watering system for my orchid. I have a clear draining cup holding my orchid (came that way from Trader Joe’s) that measures about 5 inch in diameter at the top, 4 inch in height, and 3 inch in bottom diameter. I used 2 pieces of microfiber string from a clean mop head to dangle from the dirt/roots, so the orchid can wick up water from the reservoir in the bowl, with about an inch of air between the water and orchid so the roots don’t get damp. The evaporation of water from the bowl should also give the orchid some nice humidity, like it’s more natural environment. The bowl dimensions are great for this, the bowl itself is substantial and pretty, and the overall effect is just what I hoped for. The bowl came nicely and securely wrapped, was easy to get out, and arrived quickly. The beauty of this will give me great joy I’m sure. Plus, the additional height should make it harder for my cat to bat the flowers themselves, lol. I may order more and make these orchid systems to give as presents…

I’ve had this bowl for about a year now and it hasn’t cracked or chipped. Holds 9 gallons of water if you fill to the top with nothing else in it. With all my substrate, plants and decor in it the bowl holds 7 gallons of water. I have an aquarium heater inside that keeps the water at 78 degrees, and a filter…the tank is large enough to house all necessary equipment to keep live fish.

Glass is not clear enough. Can break easily. Good for starter.

Some of the fish bowls were totally damaged

Cristal bastante grueso, llegó bien empacada y sin daños que era lo que más me preocupaba. Yo no la uso como pescera, la uso para recolectar corchos, pero por el tamaño y grosor fácilmente puede usarse de pescera, florero, colocar elementos decorativos dentro, etc.
