Large sculptural burl wood bowl with a smooth interior and an exterior that is both softly polished and naturally gnarled, highlighting its organic, free-form character. From certain angles, its silhouette suggests a duck or even a shoe, giving it a wonderfully whimsical presence. The wood is a deep, rich brown that appears almost black from a distance, while the interior reveals striking light and medium brown tones that come alive in the right light. Subtle streaks of lighter brown trace the smooth rim, adding even more visual interest. The variation in grain, color, and texture makes this a particularly beautiful and distinctive piece.

33.75" long at its longest point, 18.5" deep at its deepest point, 8.5" high at its highest point.


Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Very good vintage condition. There are dings and cracks in the wood consistent with age and use, as well as with the natural character of the burl. There is also a small opening on the interior, roughly quarter-sized though not perfectly round, which appears natural to the form.
