24. I'm thinking the larger bowl is some kind of generic vegetable bowl.

Can't begin to guess at the smaller bowl.

Not exactly related, but about five years ago I decided to promote my wedding china (was married in 1980) to being my every day china. While I'd used it any number of times over the years, I'm faced with the fact that I really have no one to inherit it. Why let it sit languished in a closet of some kind?

I'm now divorced, alas, and have always treasured my wedding china. It is truly wonderful to use it every day. I'm very aware that young people today have pretty much zero interest in things like the wedding china of their elders. So I'll put it to use, and if it simply gets thrown away when I'm gone, so be it. It will meanwhile have spent a decent amount of time being used every day.
