Ease of use

If you look at the left side of the hill of this bowl, you can see that there is a notch. This is to make it easier to hold with your finger when you hold it with your left hand. It is also to prevent the landscape painting from being turned upside down when you finish eating. With the notch made at an exquisite angle, it fits tightly in your hand and you can hold it in your hand and enjoy your meal. It is a bowl that is easy to use as it also serves as a refuge for water when it is washed and dried.
