I think they are planning on offering the glass bowls for sale later this year. I did ask before we got this model, as I have a bad habit of breaking things! It has a little grey plastic ring that screws on the bottom of the glass bowl so that it fits the plate on the bottom. Without the ring...
Yes it did. It's a retro style.
It can also take the regular metal kind.
ETA You can also get copper KitchenAid bowls, although they are $300+!
