Dimensions: Overall: 1 3/4 × 9 7/8 in. (4.4 × 25.1 cm). Date: ca. 1535-40.With its wide rim and small but deep well, this type of bowl is called a scodello. These were sometimes filled with soup or stew at the table, and at other times were put before diners already filled. In either case, they could not hold much food.
