The word "bowl" comes from a big bowl of punch and the large porcelain bowls from Bing & Grondahl and Royal Copenhagen truly can accommodate a lot. Today punch not so much used anymore, but instead bowls could be used for a large portion of lemonade in summer.
Common to porcelain bowls are that they require a large processing and are careful hand painted, so there is not produced so many of each bowl.
