@ninawillburger
Any theories on why they added a leg-shaped handle to a bowl?

@wendy @ninawillburger 1) that's a bowl owned by a runner who won the Olympic games
2) that's sold by a potter living in his city
3) the potter had a leg fetish
4) the bowl was for an apothecary who sold salves for legs (among other things)
5) the potters had a contest
6) someone just wanted a cool bowl
7) just wait for the other bowls with every limb and body part!
