Late 18th Century or Early 19c. Burl Bowl

Total Item Description:

This is a very nice example of a hand wrought “Burl Bowl.”

Native Americans usually crafted these by, first locating a suitable piece of burl, building a fire within it, and then hand scraping the interior into the shape of a bowl.

I have no real way of knowing if this is truly a Native American Burl Bowl.

Some Early Americans also crafted these bowls by hand.

I am certain of these facts:

The original owner purchased the bowl from a high end Jackson Square Antiques dealer.

It has been dated to the late 1700′s early 1800″s by a local auctioneer.

It has a beautiful and warm patina.

It comes from the living estate sale of a prominent San Francisco Resident.
