If only this bowl could talk! What would it tell us about days gone by? Marked by the passage of time, we know that it was hand-hewn out of a single piece of wood in the 19th century, and has survived in excellent antique condition to be enjoyed by generations. Though perhaps no longer suitable for bread-making, as evidenced by the scars and markings that give it its very own, unique, rustic patina, it can certainly be used in any number of wonderful, creative ways, such as a fruit or bread bowl, for flower and plant arrangements and displays - dried, fresh-cut, or alive - or to stage and show off collections or decor, and more - the possibilities are endless! less
