For some reason the last couple of days, I’ve been thinking about ramen bowls a lot. They’re another thing like the rice bowls that I thought might be good to have for the exhibition next month. They are a very basic bowl, with a tall foot and no fancy rim treatment. Wet, they are 22cm across at the rim, 9.5cm deep, and the footring is about 9cm x 2cm.

I like this style of ramen bowl, more upright and deeper. Many ramen bowl designs are wider and shallower, sometimes with no curve to the wall, just a straight shot from foot to rim. For these, I’d prefer some sort of treatment at the rim to accentuate it, but everything I tried changed the feeling of the shape too much. Something to ponder for the next batch… I’ll snag a few of these for house use, perhaps slurping up some ramen in them will help with having a ‘rim treatment epiphany’.
