This large (14" diameter) turned bowl is a fine example of the perfect shape, the right thickness, the fine finish and inwardly curled lip all combining to make art in a hand crafted object thus making it so desirable.  The outer surface has been ornamented with carved rings which were then painted with blue milk paint, a traditional Early American wood finish.

The bowl is functional.  The finish is perfectly food-friendly.  Merely wash it out by hand after use with warm soapy water. Be sure to dry it with a soft towel immediately.  Signed by the artist.

Makes an excellent signature piece.
