"The bowl form is an extension of the natural cupped hand, originally made to feel comfortable when placed in the hand. Pottery bowls from many world cultures have a special and almost imperceptibly contoured surface with slight ridges that fit the hand. In more recent times, in so-called sophisticated society, it has become the norm to eat one's food at a respectable knife and fork's distance from the ware. The sense of touch among people who seldom hold the plates and bowls they eat from has become considerably diminished as a result. Perhaps as a further consequence, the tableware made for mass consumption is less and less enticing to pick up and nestle."
