This late 1800's, early American, country primitive, wooden dough bowl was once the workhorse of the kitchen. This bowl is extra nice because of it's size, a bit out of round, typical of hand turned bowls, measuring a very large 17-1/4" across. It's deeper than a lot of other bowls, giving it more of a beehive shape measuring 5-1/2" tall. You can still see and feel the ridges on the inside from the hand tool marks with nice wood grain showing both inside and out. It sits sturdy on a flat bottom and it has a lipped edge to catch drips from running down the side of the bowl. Signs of it being used as a chopping bowl can be seen in the pictures along some of the edge. There is a well worn hole in the side where it was hung on the wall, up and out of the way.
