Overview
A pair of vintage wooden bowls, sold together. The first is a large hand-carved scoop bowl in pale honey-colored wood, with a deep rounded basin, a flat underside and a long, flat integral handle carved from the same piece. The inside shows the facets and tool marks of hand carving. The second is a low, round turned bowl in rich reddish-brown wood with strong swirling grain, a smooth rolled rim, and a band of small inlaid orange cross motifs running all the way around the outside. The light and dark woods look good together on a kitchen shelf, sideboard, table or in a display of woodenware.
Background
Carved and turned wooden bowls and scoops have long been made for everyday household use and are now collected as folk woodenware. These two came from an estate. Both are unmarked, and their maker, age and place of origin are unknown. The wood species have not been identified.
Condition
Used condition with wear. The dark bowl has a crack running from the rim down the outside wall, and one of the inlaid crosses beside the crack is missing, leaving an empty recess. It also has a few light worn patches and scratches inside the bowl. The scoop bowl has tool marks, scratches, light staining and minor edge wear, with no breaks known. Both are offered for decorative use. Please see all photos.
Dimensions & Weight
The handled scoop bowl measures about 12.2 x 10 x 3 inches (L x W x H), including the handle. The dark round bowl is about 10.5 inches across and 2.8 inches high. Together they weigh about 2 lb 6.4 oz.
