I was at the Freer Gallery in Washington, DC last year and saw a small
antique bowl from China on display. I don't remember much about it except
it puzzled me because it had a series of strange holes near the rim. I may
have been wrong but I finally came to the conclusion that the holes looked
like they were there to hold chopsticks.

Hello All of You!
I sent the original question re: chop sticks, that started this thread. My
other job is in product development in the natural products (health food)
industry. "Fusion" cooking is a big deal; the blending of two or more
nationalities. An Asian Risotto, for example. I decided my rice bowls, if
not authentic, are pretty and practical. ( Now I know it's not polite to put
your chop sticks on the table, hence, practical.) Maybe we've come full
circle and they ARE authentic! Anyway, thanks everyone for finding me
hashi, and all the other thoughts!
Jane
