Built into the wall, this spotlit treasure on display in a glass box with an oval opening. Found in our room in Cologne’s lovely Dorint Hotel.

If I’d had a long string of pearls, I’d have rested them in the bowl overnight.

If I’d had false teeth, I might have showcased them here.

If I’d had some udon, I’d have had an elegant bowl to eat it from.

If I’d had a pet mouse, it would have had a home and water source.

If I had a hammer…

But alas… I came unprepared.
