Antique 19thc Beech Turned Kitchen / Dairy Bowl With Side Handle. English C1840-60.

A beautifully made dairy / kitchen bowl used for grain /flour and other dried ingredients....made by turning the bowl from beech and specially chosen, so a branch could be skillfully shaped into the handle...so clever....it has an excellent colour and condition....I can remember my uncle who lived in the country, taking me to feed the chickens with the grain held in an identical bowl and then when it was empty, we would collect the eggs in it....and he was in his nineties..!
