Basic studio pottery. At first I thought it was a yarn bowl, but after google image searching those, most of them have a curlicue hole & it's near the bottom. Then I thought it may just be a chopstick rest/hole, but I see most of those have 2 holes, though the rest portion looks right. Thoughts? TIA.

My vote is for yarn bowl. Pretty colors!

If there's a hole or a slot in the side it's a yarn bowl.
ETA: I was mistaken...yarn bowls do not have a hole in the side, but kind of a swirl slot. I had one a while ago, but when a knot in the yarn got hung up on the slot, it got knocked to the floor and broke. Too much of a bother to consider replacing it. I was thinking it was a hole but now I remember it being a slot. My bad.

I vote chopstick bowl (or soup bowl with a place to rest the spoon). That cutout wouldn't hold the yarn in place like a curlicue or hole would.
I'm not sure, though. It looks like it's pretty small - too small for ramen or a main course. Maybe for a side dish of rice? Or salsa/sauce (the cutout would keep the spoon from sliding into the food)?

The top photo looks like there's a hole in the left side of the bowl, but it could be just a trick of light.

Here's a better pic that shows the hole on the side facing the photog & just for fun, an actual Japanese rice bowl next to it. My sis lived in Japan for awhile & had brought it back for me. Thanks everyone, I was pretty sure it was a noodle bowl, but Ahrn @ahrncitygal , a special thank you, as your pics clinched it for me!

It is not a yarn bowl. While yarn bowls do sometimes have holes in them, the main part that holds the yarn is usually a spiral shaped slot that the yarn can be put it and taken out of. When you are knitting something, you dont want to put it through a hole in the bowl because you would have to cut the yarn if you needed to take it out of the bowl.

Ahhh, I came to that conclusion after seeing that most of the yarn bowls had the spiral thing & mine didn't, but I didn't realize why, thanks for explaining the why!

You definitely dont want to have to carry a bowl around if your project if portable. And most knitters will take their knitting everywhere. They even knit while standing and there is a special knitting bag made for that purpose.
I found it easiest to knit using the Peruvian knit method while standing (the way most intarsia sweaters are made in other countries. It is super quick and the tension is hard to mess up) rather than english or continental style.
But that is way more than you needed to know huh? LOL

I believe it’s a noodle bowl. The hole and divit seem large, so would accommodate chop sticks, it just wouldn’t separate them.
