Turned from a large chunk of sycamore, this handsome wooden bowl has a grooved exterior and a narrow, well-defined base. Ovaled with age and bearing the parallel marks of the chisels used in its creation, this is a lovely bowl, in today’s world particularly appropriate for the presentation of fresh fruits or vegetables.

Welsh, 19th century

Diameter: 12 ½”

Price: $345
