It should go without saying that I think this bowl, which I spotted in the latest Martha Stewart Weddings magazine, is pretty frickin’ awesome:

When it’s filled with liquid (soup? after-cereal milk?) you can see the silhouette of a cat! How cool is that? And when it’s empty, it just looks like an artsy bowl. Win-win! (The bowls also come in bird and wolf shapes, if cats aren’t your thing.)
These were designed by Geraldine de Beco, a young French designer, for Bernardaud, a fancy French porcelain manufacturer. So fancy, in fact, that one of these lovely pieces will set you back $189. MS Weddings has this in the morning section of its all-day registry guide — I’ll stick with my $4.95 cereal bowls from Crate & Barrel for the time being. If I hit the lottery, though, and have any left over after paying off our household educational debts, Little Man is definitely getting a matched set of swanky magic cat bowls to eat and drink out of. In the meantime, if any of y’all are feeling frivolous and spendy, you just let me know.
How adorable! I’ll stick with my Crate & Barrel cereal bowls for now, too, but I just love these!
That’s super cool.
I love my crate & barrel bowls. And plates. And glasses
THOUGH I saw these are super cool.
Hahaha yep — plates, bowls, glasses, platters… C&B has good stuff. Sadly no animal-themed pieces that I’ve seen, though
oh my goodness. i need that.
Right? Me too.
