Form: Flared, conical/tapered body rising from a circular footed base, with a wide, gently flaring rim. This exact silhouette is the one Porter Blanchard designed and called the Tumble Home Bowl. The name comes from naval architecture (“tumble home” refers to the inward curve of a ship’s upper sides for stability and to make boarding harder). Blanchard, who lived near a shipyard and later built wooden boats, liked the form and began producing these in the 1930s.
