Woodlands Ash Burl Bowl - Great Lakes

Circa: 1780
Size: from 16 3/4” x 13 3/4” x 4 1/4”
A very fine ash burl bowl of an unusual form (sort of a rounded rectangle). Masterfully hewn with a fine symmetry and an even wall thickness. The surface is highly complex with a dark patination—the wood specimen has a few natural inclusions, which the Woodlands makers preferred to leave untouched.

This bowl is pictured and discussed in NORTH AMERICAN BURL TREEN: Colonial & Native American, page 132.

Provenance: Henry Ford Museum

Condition: Excellent with wear commensurate with age.

Price: SOLD
