SCP-348 is a white ceramic bowl with anomalous properties that provides comfort to children who are hurt or in pain. When a child between the ages of 4 and 18 sits in front of the bowl, it fills with warm soup, and the child often reports feeling comforted and reassured. After finishing the soup, the bowl sometimes displays a message, usually written in the child's first language, which is tailored to the child's specific needs and circumstances. The messages often seem to come from a paternal figure, conveying feelings of love, comfort, and reassurance. The bowl's properties are harmless and do not cause any adverse effects on the child or the environment. Researchers have been unable to determine the origins of the messages, but some theorize that they come from the father of the child who eats from the bowl. The purpose of SCP-348 appears to be to provide comfort to small children dealing with physical or emotional pain.
