Hookah Bowl

Abstract

The present invention includes a hookah bowl with structurally integrated means for retaining foil upon the hookah bowl. The means may include recesses or protrusions. When foil is positioned on the bowl and intercalated therein, the foil is more stably retained on the hookah bowl.
