Corinne and others - and then there's the separate soup spoons for the
cream- and broth-based soups.

for a meal, never mind keeping track of all the proper silverware and
dishes.
P.S. But I really do want to hear about the difference in teabowls!

I sent the response directly to Corinne, I think.
Winter tea bowls are deep with straighter sides to keep the heat in the
bowl. Summer tea bowls are flared oped to release the heat more rapidly.
Cream based soup bowls are broad and low to cool the thick soup (such as
split pea soup) water based soup bowl are deeper to retain the heat.
Same concept.
