goldfish bowls
Round fish containers
Goldfish bowls are small, round, transparent containers traditionally used to keep pet goldfish.
The classic design—a spherical glass bowl with an open top—has become iconic despite being considered inadequate housing for fish by modern standards.
Figuratively, a goldfish bowl describes any situation where someone is highly visible and lacks privacy: Living in a small town can feel like being in a goldfish bowl.
