The BowlsExcerpted from the November 2012 issue of Skirt! magazine.
My fascination with the mixing bowls started early. These particular bowls aren’t Italian glass or English porcelain or hand-crafted pottery. They’re just ordinary Pyrex. My grandmother gave them to my mother in the 1940s, soon after my parents married. The four party-colored bowls nest one inside the other: yellow, green, red, blue. Their smooth, rounded insides are milky white. They’ve never been in a dishwasher, and their colors after 70 years remain glossy and vibrant as oil paint. There’s a childlike, post-war optimism to the bowls’ design that appeals to me. |
