In an example embodiment, a container is provided that includes a circular rim having a recess, where the container has a depth defined by a sidewall and an inner bottom surface. The container also includes a clasp configured to extend across the recess in order to inhibit movement of an object that rests on a surface of the recess. In other example implementations, the clasp operates in a first configuration when a downward force is applied to the clasp and against the circular rim such that the object is secured within the recess. In addition, the clasp can operate in a second configuration when a downward force is applied to the clasp and against the circular rim such that the clasp is secured in a groove of the container.

1. A bowl, comprising: a circular rim having a recess, wherein the bowl has a depth defined by a sidewall and an inner bottom surface; anda clasp configured to extend across the recess in order to close the recess and to inhibit movement of a handle of an object that rests on a surface of the recess;wherein: at least a portion of the inner bottom surface is uneven for receiving a head portion of the object, wherein the clasp is hinged and rotatable between a first configuration associated with the recess being closed, and a second configuration associated with the recess being open and ready to receive the handle;a first magnetic material is disposed on at least a portion of the inner bottom surface to attract the head portion of the object;a second magnetic material is disposed on the recess to attract the handle of the object; andthe clasp includes an arm comprising a first prong, a second prong, and a sheet positioned between the first prong and the second prong adapted to move up and down. 2. The bowl of claim 1, wherein the clasp operates in the first configuration when a downward force is applied to the clasp and against the circular rim such that the object is secured within the recess. 3. The bowl of claim 1, wherein the clasp operates in the second configuration when a downward force is applied to the clasp and against the circular rim such that the clasp is secured in a groove of the bowl. 4. The bowl of claim 1, wherein the circular rim includes a groove configured to receive a lip on the clasp such that in the first configuration, the lip is engaged with the groove. 5. The bowl of claim 4, wherein the circular rim includes an additional groove configured to receive the lip such that in the second configuration, the lip is engaged with the additional groove. 6. The bowl of claim 1, wherein the clasp includes a spring configured to press against an object placed in the recess. 7. The bowl of claim 1, wherein the spring is a leaf spring. 8. The bowl of claim 1, wherein the object is a spoon. 9. The bowl of claim 1, wherein the first prong and the second prong each includes a hollow space; andthe sheet positioned between the first prong and the second prong is provided in the hollow spaces, such that the sheet can float up and down. 10. The bowl of claim 1, wherein the clasp includes a grip. 11. A bowl, comprising: a circular rim having a recess, wherein the bowl has a depth defined by a sidewall and an inner bottom surface, and wherein a first magnetic material is disposed on at least a portion of the inner bottom surface; anda clasp configured to extend across the recess in order to close the recess and to inhibit movement of a handle of an object that rests on a surface of the recess;wherein: at least a portion of the inner bottom surface is uneven for receiving a head portion of the object;the clasp is hinged and rotatable between a first configuration associated with the recess being closed, and a second configuration associated with the recess being open and ready to receive the object;the circular rim includes a groove configured to receive a lip on the clasp such that in the first configuration, the lip is engaged with the groove;the circular rim includes an additional groove configured to receive the lip such that in the second configuration, the lip is engaged with the additional groove;a second magnetic material is disposed on the recess to attract the handle of the object; andthe clasp includes an arm comprising a first prong, a second prong, and a sheet positioned between the first prong and the second prong adapted to move up and down. 12. A bowl, comprising: a circular rim having a recess, wherein the bowl has a depth defined by a sidewall and an inner bottom surface; anda clasp configured to extend across the recess in order to close the recess and to inhibit movement of a handle of an object that rests on a surface of the recess;wherein: at least a portion of the inner bottom surface is uneven for receiving a head portion of the object, wherein the clasp is hinged and rotatable between a first configuration associated with the recess being closed, and a second configuration associated with the recess being open and ready to receive the handle;the clasp includes an arm comprising a first prong and a second prong;the first prong and the second prong each includes a hollow space; andthe clasp further includes a sheet positioned between the first prong and the second prong in the hollow spaces, such that the sheet can float up and down. 13. The bowl of claim 12, wherein the sheet functions as a spring for pressing against the handle of the object. 14. The bowl of claim 12, wherein the sheet holds the object securely in position when the clasp is in the first configuration associated with the recess being closed. 15. The bowl of claim 12, wherein: when the clasp is in the first configuration associated with the recess being closed, the object pushes the sheet upwards away from the bowl and the sheet is positioned towards an upper portion of the first prong and the second prong. 16. The bowl of claim 12, wherein the sheet floats up and down in the hollow spaces to accommodate different thickness of the object. 17. The bowl of claim 12, wherein the clasp further includes a lip riveted to the first prong and the second prong, and the lip connects the first prong and the second prong into the arm. 18. The bowl of claim 12, wherein the arm further includes a grip attached to the first prong and the second prong via a hinge and the grip is configured to permit the clasp to be attached to the circular rim with a pressure fastening.
