A 19th Century Welsh Farmhouse Sycamore Dairy Bowl

A 19th century Welsh farmhouse dairy bowl, turned from a solid block of sycamore with a broad rounded rim, iron banded edge, and pierced base for draining. The interior bears traces of use and age, with a rich, timeworn surface typical of early domestic dairy wares. These bowls were essential in farmhouse kitchens for the straining and preparation of cream and cheese, their robust sycamore construction valued for durability and resistance to absorbing flavours as sycamore is a natural disinfectant, evocative piece of rural Welsh domestic history.
