I chose this fish bowl because it's a really nice pure sort of wholesome looking thing, just a lump of glass, and they incorporated playfulness and it managed to carry it off looking stylish and ingenius and not tacky. I like how it's got some sort of flair to it, it looks like it's frozen physics, it doesn't look dainty or quirky I think because it does comply with nature, and it does so strongly, it doesn't accentuate nature or go over the top to oppose it, just sort of slots within it looking beautiful but hardy and obvious (like good ideas are supposed to be really good if they seem obvious after they've been thought of). It looks vaguely scientific, like the cliche specialised glass intruments set up full of bright coloured chemicals, which is maybe part of the reason I thought it was quite British looking, like old fashioned victorian lab things, stereotypically British.
