Antique Primitive Lathe-Turned Wooden Chopping/Dough Bowl

This is an antique primitive country farm hand-turned wooden chopping/dough bowl, c. late 1880s -early 1900s. The bowl is in all-original pre-owned condition with its original aged patina, some chopping/cutting marks, and two old concave spots on the exterior (which allow the bowl to tilt or slope). There are no chips, cracks, or areas of repair. This wooden bowl measures approximately 5.25" tall by 16" long by 15" wide.

Vintage Primitive Folk Art Turned-Wood Dough or Chopping Bowl

The shape is a bit off-round. One diameter is 9" -- the other is 10". It's about 4" deep. There's plenty of wear on this rustic, primitive, wooden bowl. It has been used. Not sure if the chunk missing was natural to the wood, or if it broke off at some point. It is very smooth, so if it was broken, it was a very long time ago.

The larger bowl measures 3 inches high by 6 1/4 inches across the top. The smaller bowl measures 3 inches high by 5 3/4 inches across the top. No maker's marks. There are three contact points on the bottom where the bowls were attaches to the turning lathe.

No excessive imperfections from manufacture. The smaller bowl has a soft ridge line running from bottom to top on the exterior and a couple of minute dark knot spots on the interior. The larger bowl has a small rough spot on one of the exterior stained bands over a knot and a dark straight line leading away from a knot on the interior.
