You got a great deal. It originally had a matching bowl. Sometimes one of the pieces gets broken. Other times the sets get separated by some of the dummies on eBay. I always get upset when I see the pieces of a set being sold separately. If someone doesn't buy all of the pieces, it will be difficult to ever match the set again. I understand breaking down sets of stems, because collectors usually don't want an entire set. But breaking apart a bowl from its underplate is a sad thing. (Really, I wish the sets of stems were kept together, but I understand selling them in pairs.)
