About the Item
A rare and expressive example of Northern European folk craftsmanship, this oversized wooden dough bowl was hand-carved in 19th century Finland from a single block of solid hardwood, likely alder or birch. Its organic, sculptural form speaks to generations of use: the interior has softened over time, while the thick, uneven rim features notches, fissures, and traces of hand tools.
Beneath its utilitarian origins lies a striking presence — the raw surface texture, age-worn patina, and asymmetrical silhouette elevate this piece beyond its function. Carved by an unknown rural artisan using traditional tools such as adzes and knives, it reflects a long-standing Nordic tradition of making with intention and necessity. At 57 cm in diameter, it is unusually large for its type and remarkably well-preserved.
This piece blends the raw integrity of Scandinavian folk art with a sculptural, organic modern sensibility. Its expressive form and aged surface make it a compelling object in both minimalist and maximalist interiors — equally at home in a gallery-style setting or a warm, lived-in space.
