I don't believe in too nice to use. Nothing lasts forever and I prefer to enjoy using lovely things than just looking at them, even at the risk of breakage.
YMMV

I might have made a different choice as far as the flippers were concerned. They look vulnerable to breakage.

What would you have done?

Actually it's more that we fancy putting them on the wall as decoration and it's kind of a pain in the ass to use them then.

Bearing in mind that I am a user rather than a designer of such things, I might have pulled the flippers around to rejoin the bowl so they didn't have those fragile, pointy tips.

Hmm. That would work well for the handles of a tureen, I think....
