My Bowl, the Movie Star

A little while back, I bought a bunch of old Bond movies from a great Boxing Week sale. A couple days ago I watched one of them, License to Kill. Imagine my surprise when, during the obligatory “secret agent visits a casino” scene, the camera lingered on a counter for almost 5 seconds and I recognized the small bowl sitting on the counter. As a matter of fact, I had eaten ice cream from it not even an hour earlier.

I never knew my bowl was in the movies, let alone a James Bond movie! And not only that, but it actually shared screen time with Bond's hand! That's him sneakily reaching in from the left to steal that tray of glasses. I have a set of six bowls plus one large serving bowl, like you might use for something like a big fruit salad. I don't know how old they are or where they originally came from, as they were old dishes of my Mom's that she gave me back when I moved out on my own. But I think now I'll have to try and sell them on eBay. “Bowl featured in Bond movie” is bound to get almost as much interest as a genuine Time Machine prop!
