Here is the blue Pyrex bowl fulfilled, with Mojo for scale. Time to put it to use…  I think I’ll make some ice cream.

Hey-o! While I was observing the wonderful autumnalosity in Pennsylvania this weekend, I came across one of the lovely Pyrex bowls from the set I’ve been wanting in an antique shop. I brought it home with me, and now I’m printing out the drawing to hang on my wall. The green and red bowls are still available, but blue is fulfilled!

I’m certainly not alone in my love of Catherine Holm kitchenware, especially the famous lotus leaf pattern. Great design, great colors, and enamel—one of my favorite materials.

To be included here, an object has to be something I love, something I want, and something I want to draw. This green Catharine Holm bowl certainly meets all those requirements. And while it’s not a realistic view I chose (a kind of flattened worm’s eye view), I like how it shows the great geometry and symmetry of the design.

This bowl costs $62, and so does this drawing!

This is a great little glass-lidded ceramic bowl decorated with herrings designed by Marianne Nilsson in the 1950s. It would be perfect for jam or sugar or even paperclips, but I think I’d like to store a selection from my salt collection in it. Maybe my all-time favorite Maldon sea salt? I love this bowl’s clean lines, mid-century design, and Scandinavianosity.

This bowl costs $48, and so does this drawing!
