Vintage Chinese Dough Bowl, Large

Hand-carved from solid wood, these vintage Chinese dough bowls are timeworn treasures once used in rural Chinese kitchens to knead and mix dough for handmade breads and dumplings. Each piece is unique in size, shape, and patina, bearing the marks of decades of use—weathered surfaces, tool marks, and natural imperfections that only enhance their character.

Originally utilitarian, these bowls were central to daily life, passed down through generations and used for preparing food by hand. Today, they bring a grounded, rustic warmth to modern spaces—whether styled as a tabletop centerpiece, a catch-all for entryways, or simply admired as sculptural decor.

Note: These are true vintage items, and signs of wear, aging, and use are to be expected—and embraced. No two are exactly alike, and dimensions will vary.
