Not to be dramatic, but I’ve been thinking this bowl all morning. It’s little feet!

Every museum should have a Little Guys Tour, and at the end of the tour you can buy reproductions of all the little guys

The way it's leaning forward just a little does so much. Is it contemplative? Is it shy? It's weird how such a little thing makes a big impact; it has so much personality!

The Met gift shop and catalog used to sell replicas of that and the blue hippo. Don't know if they still do.

That’s where I got my replica bowl. It’s really cute.

I was at the Met today and can confirm the blue hippo is well-represented in the gift shop.

I have the blue hippo! Pretty sure my Dad bought it for me, at the British Museum. Jealous of your little feet bowls, though.

No idea why I might like the idea of a small hippo, for inside your house: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TijcoS8qHIE

I'm going to heist the hippo

My absolute favorite object in the Met Museum, hands (or feet) down!

I bought one of the mini Egyptian hippos last month 💙

Oh man we have two of those somewhere, gifted to us a billion years ago. They are indeed cute little bowls!

My sculpting skills are not great, but I should really try to make something like that.

kmellifera.bsky.social•88 days ago

The tilt is what makes it really special

mkbrooks.bsky.social•87 days ago

I have one of these!

demisty.bsky.social•88 days ago

It is adorable! And I agree about the "little guys tour."

soulamami.bsky.social•88 days ago

It’s the bowl and the blue hippo for me

cheerfulexgf.bsky.social•88 days ago

My favorite aunt have me the one in the first picture decades ago

my eyes went right to it. I may legitimately try to make this out of polymer clay just because I love it so much (I cannot sculpt at all and it will be hilariously bad if I do)

"Creature saying ooooooo" and the footie bowl look like they escaped from a Bosch painting.
