Wood Dough Bowl & Hanging Box

Diameter: 10.75 inches Width: 8 inches Height: 8.5 inches. This lot features two American primitive wooden utility items. The first is a hand-turned circular dough bowl, also known as a parat bowl, constructed from a single piece of hardwood. The bowl exhibits a wide, shallow profile with a rounded rim and a flat base. The interior displays concentric tool marks from the turning process and a naturally aged patina. The second item is a wall-hanging wooden box, designed for holding letters or salt. It is constructed with a decorative triple-lobed backplate featuring a central circular hanging hole. The rectangular receptacle is assembled with small nails and features a curved front panel and a beveled base. The box retains a dark-stained finish. The ruler visible in the images indicates the bowl is approximately 10.75 inches in diameter. The box measures approximately 8 inches in width at the base and approximately 8.5 inches in height to the top of the backplate.
