Huge Antique Primitive New England Trencher Dough Bowl Not What You're looking For?  Click Here To See More Dough Bowls & Primitives   Wow, this very solid 1800's New England trencher dough bread bowl is an unusual and important  discovery, fresh from a New Hampshire estate auction. This hand carved trencher is very large and is in extraordinary condition, with all the character and usage marks you would want to see on a bowl of this age.

I was thrilled to acquire this primitive hard wood bowl and I am even more happy to offer it today. Carved from a single piece of timber, this extra large bowl  measures a magnificent 26 inches in length by 14¾ in width and sits relatively steady at about 5 inches in height. You will see all the expected usage marks from good honest chopping and food preparations, including some dark spots, a notch at the top side edge and a few abrasions. Considering the age of this bowl, it is in remarkably well kept condition, having no significant cracks or damages. I have never really seen another bowl quite like this one, so large and full of personality. The color tones are splendid, rich varied browns with a slight mix of pale auburn. I am sure this bowl took many days to hewn and this example has solid heavy weight, you will need two hands to carry it. The maker of this bowl was thoughtful to bevel in the sides of the bowl creating the most wonderful handles for ease of carrying.

I have been buying and selling vintage and primitive wood bowls for over two decades and I find these larger New England trenchers nearly impossible to find in this condition. The bowl has a wonderful feel to it, other than giving it a light cleaning, it is untouched, just the way I received it, primitive and a bit dry on the exterior. This bowl is beautifully shaped and really looks a whole lot better than my photos. I do believe this 1800's primitive dough trencher bowl will please anyone that is searching to acquire a larger one. This wooden bowl is visually appealing and if you love wood bowls like I do, you will be most pleased with this awesome and superior New England Americana example. Grab it while you can, I may never see another one as good for a long time.
