Pictorial History of Bowls 

Pottery Bowl

The first bowls or vessels to be used for eating and drinking were primitive, yet functional. Prehistoric man, noteworthy as gatherer's and collector's, used hollowed out horns and seashells for liquids. As man has evolved, the concept has not changed. What is different, are the materials used and varied designs. The links below give you a clearer accounting and characterization.

BOWLS!


Making A Pottery Bowl: "People have been making pottery bowls, figures and other clay ware for centuries. Pottery vessels created to carry food or water date back as far as 10,000 BCE in Japan and North Africa, and were originally hand built and fired in bonfires. The potter's wheel was developed around 6,000 BCE in Mesopotamia and completely revolutionized pottery production."

Yum!...A Bread Bowl: "Bowls made from bread and filled with piping hot soups and stews or for personal servings of dips and sauces like hummus, make bread bowls out of small dinner rolls!"

Holy Moly that's a beautiful lens. It looks high end pro grade all the way. I love what you did with the centering text trick. You made it bowl-shaped!...and the way you used the red text as first letter and last letter with fancy font took centering to a whole new level. Beautiferous? ~Music Resource~
