stone bowl

Carved mineral container

A stone bowl is a bowl carved or shaped from stone rather than made from clay, metal, or other materials.

Stone bowls appear in archaeology as ancient artifacts and in modern contexts as decorative or functional items: a granite stone bowl for grinding spices, prehistoric stone bowls unearthed at the site.

The term also refers to a pipe bowl made of stone for smoking.
