So I'm pretty new to Blender and I want to create a model of this Japanese bowls that aren't uniformly round, instead they have these larger polygons on the outside, as you can see in the picture.

I tried a few modifiers, but I couldn't find anything that would help. Does anyone have an idea how I could get this shape? Thanks.

  I don't think modifiers will give you the best results. Maybe 2.8 has something I don't know. Begin researching Blender sculpting and draw the specific pattern on paper to get your head around it beforehand. I'm watching for answers too.

You could try it this way:

• Put your picture as a Background image.


• Create a plane, rotate it on the X axis to have it in front view, apply the rotation.


• In Front Ortho view, use the picture as a model to build your mesh, mirror the mesh to make it easier.


• Switch to Right Ortho view and continue to model the mesh. You'll have to shift the mesh from its origin.


• Come back to Object mode. Create an empty at the same point as the object origin.


• Give your object an Array modifier, give it a Count of 8, deactivate Relative Offset, activate Object Offset, choose the empty as object.


• Rotate the empty 45° on the Z axis.


• In Edit mode, give some corrections to make the vertices stick approximately with their arrayed copies.


• Duplicate the empty + object to keep a copy somewhere on another layer.


• Apply the modifiers.


• Go in Edit mode, remove doubles.


• Dissolve the useless vertical edges.


• Make some corrections.


• Now you have your basic bowl. Of course you'll probably want it to be a bit more sophisticated, like adding some bevels, etc... in that case you can keep just 1/8 of the bowl and again spin it around the empy with an array, add your bevels on the original mesh, keep only quads, etc...

Enable the "Add Mesh: Extra Objects" add-on and add a Geodesic Dome mesh.

Adjust the following:

Hedron: Icosahedron

Shape: hex

Frequency: as you want.

A more simplistic variation: Create an icosphere, cut the top vertices off using edit mode.

OR...

Use the boolean modifier to cut the top off of an icosphere, then use another boolean with a normal sphere to hollow out the inside.

This might look a little rough, but I tend to be simplistic when modeling, if you get what I mean.
