Special bowl

Do you have any bowls, platters, glasses, kitchen bots that make you smile whenever you use them.  I have two ... My whisk, which my oma won for me when i was 12 in a Chelsea Sugar baking competition, and it is still going strong( although missing at the moment, suspect it is in miss fours drawer) .... The other is a plain glass bowl.

When i first started going out with my husband, he was living in the shearers quarters.  When i came over to visit, being the nice girlfriend, I wanted to bake, but baking bowls are not standard gear on shearers quarters.  So, the next time we were in town together he picked out this one for me to use when at his place.  It has a nice lip on the edge to hold onto, and is big enough to mix a roasting dish size cake (just, if you are super careful).  Trying to impress him, i tried a dutch recipe boeterkook (kinda like almond shortbread) .... It didn't work so great, so i went back to the Edmonds ccokbook after that.

So, what are your favourite kitchen items, and what memories do they hold?
