Crane in Gentle Flight Noodle Bowl

This noodle bowl by Vicki Gill features a gracefully illustrated crane gliding across soft washes of blue and white. The bowl’s gently flared rim makes it ideal for noodles, rice dishes, soups, or grain bowls, while also allowing the painted imagery to unfold beautifully around the form.

Thoughtful details like the subtle pour notch and the included wooden chopsticks elevate this piece from functional tableware to a small work of art. The crane, a symbol of peace, longevity, and balance, brings a quiet sense of calm to the everyday ritual of eating. Each bowl is one of a kind, with slight variations that reflect the artist’s hand and process.
