About the Item

This large wooden tray balances rustic texture with minimalist simplicity. Carved from a solid block of wood, the tray has a deep, oval basin with sloping sides and corners carved into round handles. Years of use have imparted a soft texture and accentuated the expressive patterning of the wood grain. At either end of the tray, splits to the wood have been stabilized with antique repairs, a combination of iron staples and a patchwork of scrap sheet metal. Originally used for kneading and leavening dough in a provincial Chinese kitchen, the monumental tray lives on as a sculptural vessel with organic texture and wabi-sabi appeal.
