LARGE ASH BURL BOWL, 12", 18TH CENTURY

This is one of the best black ash burl bowls that I have owned. It was lathe turned with a foot and rim and has complex rings around the sides.

There is a natural flaw in rim that was there when it was turned. There are no cracks or repairs. It has a wonderful surface patina. Late 18th to early 19th c. Rare to find this nice.
