The sculptural form of this vintage bowl takes center stage. Carved from a single piece of solid hardwood, it features a distinct "Turtle" or "Star" silhouette with protruding geometric handles. This shape is a rare find among traditional dough bowls, suggesting it may have once held a specific ceremonial or functional purpose in a village kitchen. The wood wears its history openly, displaying a warm, honey-brown to deep espresso patina earned over decades of use. The hand-hewn tool marks are visible on the interior, adding a layer of texture that machine-made items simply cannot replicate.
Use this lovely wood bowl in your kitchen or dining table as a functional fruit bowl; the wide, open basin allows air to circulate around produce while looking incredibly chic. Its large scale makes it also perfect for holding a candle or a sprawling arrangement of moss and stones.
