Stitch ceramic bowls

If you've spent your entire life inside the United States, then it's probably difficult to imagine that claw machine prizes (with the exception of those available in the Toy Story universe) can be AWESOME.

In some cases, even after many years of collecting these items, I am still actually impressed with the quality. Like this set of ceramic bowls my buddy Steven (who is like a UFO catcher god or something) collected over in Singapore.

And, yes, these are indeed from a claw machine, but they are ceramic. Each has a unique, very cute design. They kind of remind me of the cereal bowls you'd see as a kid that were supposed to encourage you to finish your breakfast, because then you'd get to see a colorful picture of your favorite cartoon character at the bottom.

  1. Those are really well designed! And then they put a hiragana "SU" す on each of them, like an initial or a hanko seal. They usually use katakana to write his name, as you know, but I guess it wouldn't fit well with the traditional feel of these bowls.

  2. Oh, I didn't notice the little "Su." I love little touches like that.
