Deep BOWL traditionally used in Japan only to hold cooked sticky rice (米) placed at the bottom, with other foods such as shrimp with tempura layered on top of that rice, then covered with sauce. Formerly, elements were an emphasis marker stroke in the center of four (many, many)「emerging shafts」(茻) that have spilled a plethora of sticky white seeds accumulated as if into a community bowl, but seemingly, not many others will acknowledge this fact today. A deep hollow that was dug into clay forming a cavity, with peeled fried shrimp layered over white seeds of rice grains (donburi) and dark fluids (tare, tsuyu sauces) collecting at the bottom. Other than「emerging shafts」(茻), some glyphs use 井 to replace many, many「flesh seams」(㠭) as the places of accumulating community sticky white seeds from emerging shafts. Porcelain material is used for the bowl…and the English 'porcelain' ultimately derives from the Latin meaning a porcine female or pig sow, and the shape of the bowl is that of both a cowrie shell and the sow's backside as result from being lain, that is, being served in her backside by boars:「According to an old theory, the connection of the shell and the pig is a perceived resemblance of the shell (also Venus shell) opening to the exposed outer genitalia of pigs.」　[　https://www.etymonline.com/word/porcelain 2020-12-01　]　
　Which is why the bowl shape is filled with sticky white seeds covered by a brown sauce and fried shrimps having the shape of a community of curved male human penises, emphasis in the center at the bottom of the clay depression (where you will find brown sludge).

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: bowl of food; well
Japanese: bowl of rice with food on top, porcelain bowl
Unihan extended: bowl of food; well
EDRDG: bowl; bowl of food

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
