Carved from a single piece of solid birch burl, the bowl showcases dramatic grain patterns, natural undulations, and a warm honey-toned patina developed over time.

The organic, free-form silhouette is dictated entirely by the burl itself, making this a one-of-a-kind decorative object. Originally crafted by a skilled Nordic artisan in the mid-20th century, the piece reflects the Scandinavian appreciation for honest materials, functional art, and natural beauty.

Perfect as a centerpiece on a dining table, sideboard, or console, this bowl works equally well in organic modern, wabi-sabi, Scandinavian modern, or minimalist interiors. It can be displayed as a sculptural object or used as a functional bowl for fruit or decorative items.
