Soup Dish

Description

I am a Soup Dish. Fill me up with your favorite soup and I’ll fill you up, scoop by scoop.

Curator’s Notes

This soup bowl feels warm and comforting, much like the contents it’s meant to hold. The porcelain is light and creamy, and the darkened antique rim gives a touch of handcrafted character on an otherwise minimal backdrop. The bowl has just the right depth – soup stays hot, but not too hot, and every dip of your spoon will fill easily.
