glass bowl

See-through serving dish

A glass bowl is a bowl made of glass, typically transparent and used for serving food, holding decorations, or mixing ingredients.

The transparency makes it useful when presentation matters: She arranged the fruit salad in a glass bowl.

In slang, glass bowl is a euphemism for asshole, substituting a rhyming phrase to avoid the vulgarity directly.
