About the Item
A large hand-carved vintage bowl made in Finland in 1954. Crafted from burl wood, the piece shows a bold, organic form with a smooth polished surface that highlights swirling grain and warm natural tones. Resting on an integrated base, it balances function with a strong sculptural presence.
This vessel belongs to the Nordic folk craft tradition, where artisans transformed local woods into functional pieces with artistic value. Burl wood has long been prized in Finland for its durability and expressive grain, and during the mid-20th century such handcrafted objects aligned naturally with modernist ideals that favored authentic, natural materials.
With its generous size and unique character, the piece works as a centerpiece bowl, a decorative accent on a sideboard, or simply as a sculptural object in a modern interior. It adds warmth, texture, and a sense of authenticity - a true example of Finnish craft heritage from the mid-century period.
