Technology does not allow them to be deep. The depth of the bowl usually does not exceed 15 centimeters.

1. Welding. In terms of convenience, they are superior to the first, but in terms of cost they are clearly more expensive. The essence of the technology lies in the fact that the bottom of the thicket and its walls are made separately from each other.
   After which they are simply welded together.
