Pictorial History of Bowls
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.

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~ Posted February 07, 2008 |
