UPDATE:  The drawing of the blue bowl has been sold, so these are the drawings that remain. These bowls cost $79, and so does this drawing!

Last night Scout climbed on top of the refrigerator (the one place in the entire house she’s not supposed to go) and knocked over my favorite bowl (it’s in the background in that photo), which fell to the floor and broke into a million pieces (she’s very sorry). Cleaning it up was a drag—I was tired and there were other things I’d rather do—but the loss of the bowl, which I’d gotten in a second-hand shop in Baltimore, made me sad all out of proportion to its worth. I remembered the road trip to Baltimore, the many things I’d mixed in it (including most recently a fantastic new ice cream flavor of my own invention), and the pleasure I got thinking of those things every time I looked at it. 

Of course I could replace its function by just going out and buying a new bowl, but the only way I could think of replacing something like its value to me (short of a roadtrip, which I can’t do at the moment) was to include it in The Fulfillment Center. So here are some lovely colorful Pyrex nesting bowls that would be a delight to cook with.

These bowls cost $88, and so does this drawing!

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!
