Cherry Ale bowl, footed with high collar | Plum milk paint finish

This deep cherry bowl is ready for anything. Its deep form will hold a lot and keep the food in its place.

We love the use, and rich colors, of this ancient paint incorporated by Goodson Woodcraft. Milk Paint is a wood finish that, in bygone days, would combine natural pigments with a farmer's milk and other locally sourced ingredients. It is environmentally friendly & is a sustainable material from a craft perspective. This paint will not flake off (unless of course, you want to give it a chipped antique finish...), will not peel, will provide a country-style finish, an antique patina, natural and the deep colors, tones and textures only available with milk paint and natural pigments. 

It also has a nice lip and a wide collar for easy grabbing. Just place your index finger along the collar and let the rest of your fingers cradle the “belly” of the bowl, and you will see how well it fits the hand.

 Inspired by European, especially Norse, “ale bowls” that migrated with early settlers. Many European cultures have a long history of drinking from bowls. For example, the modern French café au lait “cup” is a hold-over of this tradition.

6.5" x 3.5", finished with food-safe milk paint and linseed oil.
