Pair of Simple Vintage Hand Turned Wooden Bowls - Pear & Sycamore

Sale Price: £25.00 Original Price: £30.00

The Story

This duo of wooden dishes showcases the beauty of natural materials and precise, manual craftsmanship. Each bowl has been hand-turned to reveal the unique, tactile qualities of Pear and Sycamore wood. With their clean lines and subtle retro aesthetic, they represent the Mid-Century Modern appreciation for organic textures and "honest" design. Both pieces are personally initialled and dated on the base, adding a wonderful touch of provenance to their story.

The Details

  • Materials: One bowl in Pear wood, one in Sycamore.

  • Markings: Initialled "JB" and dated (day/month) in ink on the bases.

  • Dimensions:

    • Pear Bowl: 13.5cm Diameter x 5cm High.

    • Sycamore Bowl: 14cm Diameter x 5cm High.

  • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. Both bowls feature beautiful grain patterns and a warm, natural colour palette with no significant damage or wear.

Why They’re Special

Unlike mass-produced woodenware, these hand-turned dishes have a weight and balance that only comes from artisanal work. Pear wood is prized for its fine, even texture and warm reddish-brown hue, while Sycamore offers a paler, more subtle grain.

Styling Tips

  • The Perfect Nibbles Set: These are the ideal size for serving nuts, olives, or crisps during a drinks party. The natural wood provides a beautiful, warm contrast to modern ceramic plates.

  • Jewellery Organizers: Place them on a bedroom dresser or vanity. Use the slightly darker Pear bowl for gold jewellery and the paler Sycamore bowl for silver to create a coordinated, organized look.

Sustainable Shipping

  • 100% plastic-free, recyclable, and biodegradable packaging.

  • U.K. Delivery: Sent via FREE Royal Mail Tracked 48 service.
