A small footed bowl on a pedestal, for the surface by the door or the middle of a kitchen counter. Keys and coins land in it, or fruit, or sweets when people come round.
Material: plastic, smooth and odourless, with a glossy finish.
Sizes: 13 x 8 cm, which is 5.12 x 3.15 in, and 16 x 7 cm, which is 6.3 x 2.76 in.
Weight: about 70 g, or 0.15 lb.
Colour and quantity: one bowl, black.
Because it is light and will not shatter, it survives a hallway table where a ceramic bowl would not last a year. The edges are smoothed and the surface is comfortable in the hand, and the raised foot gives it more presence than the size alone suggests.
