@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone omg your Asian blue bowl does it have dragons on the bottom because if yes I hit jackpot and there’s several different shapes
spoiler
Now that's nostalgic
Very
ahhh nostalgia
Omg are those paler bits kind of see through? Because I used to have Chinese tea cups like it.
Unsure how see through. I didn’t pick up the bowl only tapped my nails on it to confirm the sound to make sure it wasn’t plastic. I was in, took pic then went outside to confirm name of shop and left
Ah no worries.
Yes that's it you legend. Now my daughter gets to eat. Thank you.
Name of shop is: Ming Ming gift shop 108-110 Nicholson Street Footscray (according to google)
Basically walk into the shop, go to the very end aisle on the right side. It’s about half way up the aisle. Look on the left that’s where all the bowls are. There’s the ones that are same size as your and a medium size rice bowl type. Slightly bigger than average rice bowl, just an fyi incase you want a small bowl (which you can see in the back on that photo.) your size bowl looks like there’s 10 there on the shelf. Unsure if they have any further stock I did not ask. First store I went to (a different one didn’t have it)
Been running errands today so forgot to check price. Sorry
Also yay your daughter won’t starve now yippee!
Thank you so much. I'll head back to Footscray and grab some.
Excellent. Have a look at the ceramic soup spoon, unsure if you’re interested but usually people who buy the bowls buy matching soup spoons. Well at least they used to 😅 man that takes me back to when I was younger
I have 2 of those already but I am planning on buying more.
I would recommend buying as much as you can (even to have one or two spares incase one breaks) doesn’t seem like they make these any more. The first shop I went to, the owner said you can check where they are located in the store, you might get lucky but they’re not made anymore
Also saw these pinky type color Sakura print as well
Wasn’t sure if you meant today but did you manage to get those bowls?
