17 x 16.5 x 6″ high.
Century old teak wood bowl with beautiful patina and character. Hand carved from a single piece included the handle. Both usable and sculptural. Full dimensions with the handle; 17 x 16.5 x 6″ high x handle 2.5″ long.
This antique bowl was sourced in the spirit of Wabi-Sabi, a Japanese philosophy that beauty can be found in imperfection and impermanence. It is a beauty of things modest and humble. A beauty of things unconventional. It is the opposite of vulgarity. The costs of achieving this kind of minimalism are seemingly inconsistent with its mission of aesthetic humility. This kind of luxury is for a select few: The Emperor of Japan had a Wabi garden. Wabi is for people who already have a lot.
