I ducked out to a thrift store today at lunch. I found what I think is a very unique bowl. Unfortunately I have no way to put a pic online. but I was wondering if I described it maybe you guys could point me in the right direction. its like crock/pottery material, it has handles on the sides  < its the size of a soup bowl> and a lip in the middle. The lid has one small hole perhaps for steam and the lid has a handle on the top but maybe 1/4 of the handle is cut out like a V shape...my hubby says its for a spoon rest, but if the lid was on the counter I think it would be too short for that. it has a 04 stamped on the bottom. Its tannish in color and the lid has some squiggles and lines..and 4 kind of abstract little drawings..Im clueless...thanks everyone...AB
