Famiware Ocean Soy Sauce Dishes of 6 and 7.2"+5.8" Ceramic Kitchen Utensil Holder

On a shelf between meals, the dishes stack without ceremony, taking the narrow space a larger bowl would leave empty. They stay within reach of the stove. They are the ones you reach for on weeknights, when the table gets laid quickly and the soy sauce has somewhere to sit.

You fill one at the stove and pass it left. It comes back empty with the plates, and the meal goes on. The stoneware is dense, and the foot ring grips the table. The rim is the fragile part, so you treat these the way you treat any plate you cook with. Then they are washed, dried, and put back on the shelf.
