Okay Giusi, you use the term "potager" which can mean either a bowl for
soup, or a pot for growing a kitchen garden per the inet definitions.
Which were you referring to? It seems you were referring to "soup" bowl,
but most definitions seem to indicate a kitchen garden (herb) role.

The inet def I found that seems to describe:
http://www.answers.com/topic/potager-1 in a typical manner.

I mentioned I have soup/chili bowls (mine were glazed ceramic, with lids
used for soup or chili, and also brown). Since I did post almost two
hours earlier than you, I assumed you saw my post. That is why I'm
confused with the term "potager". Rather than a description of a soup
bowl usage, the inet seems to describe these for kitchen garden usage.

Can you clarify?
