A Bowl is a vessel used primarily in Cooking to hold water, stew, curry, kebab mix, etc.
Players with level 8 Crafting can make a bowl by using soft clay on a potter's wheel to make an unfired bowl, and then using it on a pottery oven. This requires level 8 Crafting, and earns a total of 33 experience points when made successfully[1]. An unfired bowl is required for the Dragon Slayer quest to retrieve the second map piece.
Creating and firing bowls gives good Crafting experience - the best F2P pottery XP other than urns - and is a good way to train Crafting at lower levels. While some urns give more XP than bowls, at lower levels they take up two places instead of one and therefore yield less XP per inventory.
Bowls can be bought from the food store portion of the Culinaromancer's Chest, for players who have completed enough of the Recipe for Disaster quest to be able to use the chest. The chest stocks 10 bowls for players who have completed the entire quest.
Bowl spawn points include the kitchen in Lumbridge Castle, south-west of the Temple of Ikov (just north of the Farming patch) and the Cooking Guild.
A bowl can be used on a water source to turn it into a bowl of water. Members can use a bowl of water on a range to turn it into a bowl of hot water, which used to be a great money maker, but now the prices have changed, and bowls are hard to buy on GE, so this is not a great money maker anymore.
