This bowl appears to have never been used or perhaps used modestly for decorative purposes. The metal that the bowl is made of (which is identified as cast aluminum on the manufacturer's website) is thick and solid, with no visible signs of typical wear and no signs of any type of corrosion. The metal may have dulled a bit over the years, but could easily be polished to return to look as good as it did when brand new.
