"A 19th-century serving bowl hand-carved from the burl of a black ash tree. Burl wood forms in unpredictable, swirling grain patterns, which makes every bowl carved from it genuinely one of a kind — this one is no exception. The rich, deep patina across the surface reflects generations of use and handling.
Please add: exact diameter and height, approximate weight, and any known regional origin or family history — burl bowls with documented Native American or early American craft origin command significantly higher prices, and even without firm attribution, dimensions alone will help this listing convert.
A substantial, museum-quality piece for a serious collector of early American treen and folk art."
