The opening are too wide for things like mandarins, but hold large items like apples, and bananas just fine. Although I like the style so much that I considered just getting the smaller option for smaller items;)

These bowls are beautifully made, a joy to look at and touch, and are perfect for fruit. Fruit gets lots of air so it doesn't turn as quickly, and you can see what you have from afar. It's ideal for any kitchen counter top.

This bowl was exactly what I needed to complete my space and is just the cutest piece that people always notice!
