Antique water bowl XL | Zahra
This large antique wooden water bowl originates from Indonesia, where such vessels were an essential part of daily life in rural homes and villages. Traditionally hand-carved from solid hardwood, water bowls were used for collecting, carrying, and storing water for household use, from washing and food preparation to communal and ceremonial rituals.
Crafted using simple tools and time-honoured techniques, these bowls were designed for durability and practicality, yet possess a quiet sculptural beauty. The generous scale and organic form reflect both function and the natural properties of the wood, shaped by hand rather than machine.
Over decades of use, the surface has developed a rich patina, with softened edges, subtle irregularities, and tonal variation that speak to its age and history. These marks of wear are not imperfections but a record of daily life, lending depth and authenticity to the piece.
Today, this vessel translates beautifully into contemporary interiors. Its size and depth make it ideal not only as a decorative centrepiece, but also as functional storage, perfect for holding blankets, throws, cushions, or logs or even left empty to appreciate its form. Whether placed on the floor, beneath a console, or in a living space, it brings warmth, texture, and a sense of history.
This bowl is entirely unique.
