Rice Grain

I bought an old rice grain porcelain bowl from Arabia.

Lovely and not perfectly shaped.

It's on my kitchen shelf now.

Rice Porcelain

 Originally I had just 4 of these bowls.

Then I found 4 little ones in a junk shop :-)

So now there are 8 of them. 

This is called "rice (grain) porcelain" and hopefully you can see the light come through.

You can see some other examples at skôn.
