Simple Table.where not working as expected

[tacman]

db.version(3).stores({
    savedTable: "id,name,owned",
    productTable: "++id,price,brand,category"
});

        let table = db.table('savedTable');
        table = table.where({owned: true}).toArray().then(rows => console.log(rows)).catch(e => console.error(e));

I'm trying to simply filter by owned: true. Actually, I have a more complicated query, and want to use where. I have something working with filter, but it seems like where more appropriate.

            this.filter = {owned: true};
            table = table.filter(row => {

            let okay = true;
            for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(this.filter)) {
                okay = okay && (row[key] === value);
            }
            return okay;
        });

what am I misunderstanding in where()?
