This 12″ tall, cracked egg bowl looks exactly like ceramic but it’s actually rubber. I love to watch people’s reactions when I throw it at people to catch or when I pretend that I’m accidentally dropping it. I wish the feet moved. It’s so ugly, it should walk away.

This thing is insane! I actually have a set of red rubber bowls that I love but I certainly have never seen any with feet and textured like this.
I love how the feet are just hunked on there, literally looking like someone just pressed two blobs of clay on as an afterthought. And it’s amazing that it’s a foot tall.
Do you know when this was made? I’d be very curious to know where you found it. Was it being sold as a utility bowl or as an art object?

Yes, it’s quite outrageous, Allee. Your word “blob” describes its texture perfectly. I don’t think it’s vintage, however, but it’s definitely outrageous kitsch.
I got it at one of those high-end stores on Beverly or Melrose about twelve years ago. It was pricey but I flipped over it because I love whimsy, and it’s such a conversation piece. I recall being told it was made in France. The only thing it says is “27” inscribed on the bottom in the center of what appears to be a red wax seal…you can see a hint of the red in the photograph. (Even that is bizarre!)

I can’t stop looking at this thing. It is both ugly and mesmerizing.
