About the Item

Crafted in France circa 1880, this large round dough bowl is hand-turned from solid elm, a hardwood prized for its strength and richly patterned grain. Measuring 19 inches in diameter and 4 inches high, the bowl features a deep interior with sloped sides and a wide rim decorated with subtle concentric turning lines. The surface retains a warm, honey-brown patina built over generations of use, along with age-appropriate wear including a visible crack along the rim, adding to its authentic charm. Originally used for kneading and proofing bread in a country kitchen, this antique French piece now makes a striking decorative accent, ideal as a centerpiece, fruit bowl, or rustic display vessel. Excellent condition commensurate with age and use. Decorative stone fruit not included
