I couldn't quite get the photos to express the true shape of this bowl, it is somewhat distinctly egg shaped. I have never really seen another bowl quite like this one and it's a large one, measuring out of round at a whopping 16½ by 14½, sits very steady and deep at between 5½+ to 6 inches depending on where you measure. These bowls do take many days to create, from a single piece of log. This example is as nice as they will come with rich and various golden honey light brown and amber tones. I have been buying and selling vintage and primitive wood bowls for nearly two decades and I find these larger New England dough bowls more difficult to come by, especially in this quality condition and overall appearance. This bowl shows no abuse or damage what so ever, no cracks, just a few cut marks and some age/usage discolorations but nothing too naughty. 
 The bowl has a wonderful feel to it with lots of radiance and personality. The exterior has a dark spot which is actually a small shallow area of remaining bark, amazing that it has managed to stay attached. No alterations have been made to this bowl, no finish or stains that we applied, it is in it's natural "as found" wood state, cleaned and ready for use. The bowl is beautifully shaped and carries good weight, just like a solid hard wood bowl should. I believe my photos show all the fine characteristics so you may judge it for yourself. I do believe this antique dough bowl will please anyone that is searching to acquire a large one. These dough bread bowls often sell rather quickly so if you want this unusual and deep egg shaped example, let me know and I'll place it aside just for you. This wooden bowl is visually delightful and if you love wood bowls like I do, you will be most pleased with this awesome and superior American example.
