Inspired by the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson (philosopher, essayist, poet, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early 19th century), this ceramic bowl is hand-stamped with the words LAUGH OFTEN. Perfect for so many occasions. Each piece is crafted of fine pure white clay with a matte finish. Decorative use only. Measures approximately 3.5" in diameter...it fits nicely in the palm of your hand.
