Bowls

The perfect way to serve up melon at parties. This ceramic watermelon-slash-shark will hold onto your fruit or other snacks, and is way easier and more permanent way to do it than carving one from an actual watermelon. You Martha Stewart types can try that instead.

Crafted from temperature-retaining soapstone sitting in acacia wood jacket, these bowls can be pre-chilled to keep desserts from melting while the wood protects your hands from freezer burn. The stone can also be warmed for hot dishes.

Ceramicist Catherine Smith’s stoneware popcorn bowl not only looks beautiful, it has a built-in strainer that lets unpopped kernels fall into a separate compartment, sparing your teeth from an unpleasant surprise while snacking.

Replicate the stomach-churning dinner scene from Temple of Doom, and serve up some chilled monkey brains in one of these creepy, lidded bowls, complete with hair. We recommend raspberry sorbet, frozen in brain shape.

According to our calculations, you won’t be using a crystal bowl to hold your treats for another 30-40 years. Until then, place your mini candy canes, keys or extra coinage into this fun handmade cast iron skull, and savor your youth.

If your mutt’s going to insist on drinking out of the toilet bowl anyhow, why not get them their own, and ensure it has clean water in it? We’re getting one for the cat. And another for our breakfast cereal.
