Primitive Hand Carved Wooden Dough Bowl Hewn from a single block of solid wood, this substantial hand-carved dough bowl embodies the rustic charm and utilitarian beauty of early American craftsmanship. Its elongated oval form, warm natural patina, and smooth, timeworn surface reveal generations of use and care. Minor scuffs, natural imperfections, and aged blemishes are intrinsic to its hand-hewn character, reflecting both its authenticity and age. A functional form turned sculptural object, this 19th to early 20th century bowl makes a striking centerpiece rich with texture, history, and the quiet artistry of the frontier home.
