Hey friends!
I have to show you another beautiful piece of history that I brought home from Texas.
On one of our many treasure hunts, I found this heavy, huge, obviously loved and well used, German dough bowl. I know I say it often, but I totally love this piece and the history that it holds. Can’t you just imagine a wife and mom using this bowl to knead her dough for the homemade bread she is preparing for dinner?
Okay, I really don’t know a better way to say this, but I have never seen cracks look so beautiful. Forgive me for that one, but really didn’t know how to say it.
I think she is just gorgeous filled with old vintage linens.
You can see how big she is as she sits atop my coffee table.
My photos do not do this piece justice. I would love for you to be able to see it like I do.
There are many things in my home that I could easily part with and could be replaced. Not this one…this beauty is a keeper.
Hope you have had a blessed day and that the rest of your week is wonderful.

So many ways to use that...love how old it is.
So beautiful and old....many uses.
I love it! My mother laments all the time that she doesn't know what happened to her mom's dough bowl. I agree with you about the history behind it.
It's gorgeous cracks and all.

Lovely! I have a similar one - a bit too large to be comfortable on a tabletop. Yours looks great with your linens in it.

she is a beauty!
i love my dough bowls, too.
you CRACK me up! :)
sorry, i couldn't resist...the cracks and aging on these primitive pieces make them so wonderful and unique.
xo :)
That is one beautiful piece of history, Amy! Can you just picture some farmwife's hands lifting it to carry it on her hip to the table...? Or setting in the center of the dining table full of warm, sweet smelling homemade bread...? I don't blame you for loving it so. I would too. :)

That dough bowl is simply THE BEST one I have ever ever seen!! WOW WOW WOW :) have fun with it!
Stunning. Filled with the delicate vintage linens - love it!
I love this piece! What a find. Oh to know the history of it, to be able to see how it was used, what family got to eat the homemade bread made in it.

I totally understand what you mean about the cracks...it's hard to put into words.
You know I'm only about 45mins from Canton, right?
