comments: This bowl exemplified both the good news and the bad news, as I see it, on bowls with symmetry. It looks very nice, which is the good news, but it ISN'T actually symmetrical (well, nowhere near perfectly symmetrical, is what I mean) which I find annoying and that's why I don't do too many bowls with symmetry of the sort that makes it obvious that the symmetry is obviously less than perfect.
At just under 6" in diameter, this is about as small as my bowls go
