After the Breakfast Bowl came to life, it inspired our first group of pieces that had a relationship to each other. I set out making smaller bowls, using the same lopsided table as the Breakfast Bowl. (Click here to read the story of that table if you missed it last week!)
Using that same table on the uneven floor of my workshop, I made the model for our Dessert Bowl. Gravity gave me a matching angle, but this time on a prototype about half the size of the Breakfast Bowl.
Tiny bowls fascinate me. When I was growing up, for some reason, we never had little bowls in the house, so I was curious about them as a thing that other people had around their houses.
I would love to go to a friend’s house and eat snacks out of their small bowls. That hasn't changed decades later, but now I have my own. The Dessert Bowl is my go-to for a side of pub cheese for my crackers, and in a perfect world, I also have a Ramekin full of raspberries.
When I made our teeniest bowl, the Ramekin, I replicated the process of the last two, but made this one again half the size of the Dessert Bowl. It felt frivolous, but it's so fun to use and have around. In addition to being your standard dipping sauce vessel, it also works great as a salt bowl, good for tea bags, or for setting up your mise en place. The Ramekins at my house end up in my daughter's room often because they are just the right size for a stuffed puppy's dinner bowl.
