This shape is reminiscent of a Japanese teabowl, and is extremely versatile. When I had a desk job I used it for both tea and water all day and lunch, which was often soup, rice and beans, or just leftovers. The ones in my cupboard are my favorite for oatmeal, and if you don't need drainage they are great for a plant. This one is a sot triangle and is a stormy grey blue color with drips.
