Favorite soup bowl shapes
 

I'm about to start making a bunch of soup bowls so that I have them for next
years feed the hungry event. I like my soup bowls with a coffee mug handle
and plain low cylinder shape for stability. But since these aren't for me
I'm curious what others like. Any comments?

I like a well designed rice bowl for just about anything you'd eat or
drink from a bowl. Here are a few:

Nice lines but the base is a bit deep:

Base a bit wide, curve of the sides not quite right:

Base maybe a little narrow, and too sharply defined, otherwise good:

Pretty, but the sides are a little too vertical at the rim:

This one's pretty good (but I hate the transfers):

I find that when it's just right a rice bowl is comfortable and secure
to hold in one hand or two, and to use with a spoon or as a cup.

Well, you did ask. :-)

I sometimes make my soup bowls with a flat rim so you can carry the
bowl easily without getting your hands hot from the hot soup.

That is a nice idea - keeps them stackable yet serves the purpose of the
handle. Donna

Thank you. I like those shapes. They are very similar to my tea cups which
I love the feel of for holding. Donna

It's a good cup shape, I think it works well with a variety of handle
styles. I might try a few variations when I get back to college in a
couple of weeks, assuming I haven't completely lost what little skill I
acquired on the wheel last year. :-)

Make what you love, there will be customers who connect. I have a
spectacular deep, nearly rimless tenmokku/kaki bowl that I picked up at an
Empty Bowls event. My daughter spent a lot of time before choosing an
awful, light-purple commercial bisque thing. She still loves it, it's hers
and it was a special occasion. Just do it :-)
Best regards,
