Bowl vs Schale

shell / bowl

Schale primarily refers to the open container that holds food. A Bowl, by contrast, is usually the assembled dish made from several ingredients and served in a bowl. When the container itself is the focus, Schale is used; when the meal is meant, Bowl is more appropriate.
