A wonderfully characterful 19th-century sycamore dairy bowl, full of the charm and warmth that only true period pieces possess. Turned from a single piece of sycamore, this generous bowl has developed a fantastic natural colour and a rich, time-worn patina that speaks of its long life in the traditional farmhouse kitchen.
The bowl sits with a slight, gentle slope—a common and authentic feature of hand-turned wooden dairy bowls of this age, adding to its rustic appeal. It is further enhanced by incised banding carefully worked around the rim, offering a simple yet elegant decorative detail typical of rural 19th-century craftsmanship.
With just the right amount of age and wear—exactly what one would expect from an antique of this period—this bowl would make a beautiful statement piece in any home. Perfect displayed on a rustic farmhouse table filled with fruit, or styled on a sideboard in a cosy lounge, holding seasonal decorations, dried flowers, or treasured objects.
A timeless and tactile piece of English country heritage, ready to bring warmth and authenticity to any interior.
