Condition

Used condition. No sign of repair or restoration. Replacement waxed string, which is untested so I do not advise hanging the bowl up using this string! One leg has a superficial and cosmetic surface split. IMPORTANT NOTE - DOES NOT INCLUDE FRUIT SHOWN IN PHOTOGRAPH, FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. Usual patination typical of a functional antique hand carved hardwood bowl. Stands very uneven on feet but not really noticeable. Please carefully check all the photos for close up details as they form an integral part of the description. All of our items are antique, vintage or used so will show signs of wear and imperfections commensurate with a pre loved item of that age. We do our best to photograph and explain the condition of the item as best we can. If you have any questions, or a condition issue with any of our items, please contact Antiques Central direct and we will do everything we can to resolve the problem as quickly and as effectively as possible. Always remember, when buying vintage items, they will have signs of use but that is also what makes them so unique.
