Small Burl Wood Bowl on Pedestal - Finland, Mid-Century
Couldn't load pickup availability
A vintage Finnish burl bowl with a warm, natural patina. Carved by hand, it has a crescent-shaped profile balanced on a small pedestal base. The swirling burl grain gives it plenty of character, and the surface has mellowed beautifully over time.
Burl objects have a long tradition in Finland, where makers turned the irregular growths of trees into everyday vessels and decorative pieces. Each one is unique - no two burls form the same way - which makes even a modest bowl like this a small original.
This one shows some wear on the pedestal, but is otherwise in excellent condition with perfect patina. A simple way to add a touch of Finnish folk craft to your home.
✦ Height 15 cm, length 19 cm
✦ Material: Finnish burl wood
✦ Handmade in Finland
✦ Period: 1950s - 1970s
✦ Very good vintage condition - wear on the pedestal
ABOUT FINNISH BURL CRAFT
In Finland, burl wood has been shaped into bowls, cups, and decorative items for centuries. These handmade pieces carry both a folk tradition and a modernist appreciation for natural materials: each one an individual, shaped by the tree and the maker.
