This dough bowl is absolutely gorgeous, having numerous brown tones, perhaps a bit of auburn, a rich warm patina and the overall appearance of the wood is quite attractive. My photos are expressing it's character and stunning tones but it's true beauty will be seen in person. The interior is showing it's over 100 years of use with plenty of cut marks from chopping those wonderful herbs and many other foods. I am sure the making of dough had to be one of it's primary purposes. The interior is smoother with age but the exterior has all of those fabulous lathe turning lines, some of the best I've seen. The bottom of this bowl is nice a flat, giving stability to this very large bowl.
The condition is very good with the occasional bump, bruise and nick, all adding to it's unique personality. There is a small tight 2¼ inch hairline that runs from the top edge, as shown. It is very tight and stable, difficult to even notice when looking for it. The exterior top edge has a nice turned ¾ inch lip. I have gently cleaned this bowl for you, removing only the decades of dust and leaving behind a clean, natural wood bowl that you will be proud to own and use. The size is impressive as well, measuring approximately 16¾ by 17¾, perfectly out of round as an antique dough bowl should be and sits steady at varying heights between 4¾ and 5+ inches depending where you measure, not too deep, just right for displaying all your fresh fruits and veggies. You will find it easy to love and cherish this bowl. Let me say once again how very nice this Ohio farm house dough bowl is, it's ready for your decorating ideas or for use.
