Hand-Turned Solid Hardwood Feasting Bowl for Historical Encampments
A Universal Companion from Antiquity to the Renaissance
For centuries, wood was the most accessible and widely used material for everyday tableware, from antiquity right through to the early modern period. Pottery broke easily on military campaigns, whilst ornate metal bowls were the preserve of the wealthy nobility. This bowl is crafted using the traditional technique of wood turning, giving it a regular shape and beautifully highlighting the natural grain within the solid wood. Furthermore, the wide, flared rim allows for a remarkably secure grip, even when the food inside is hot, ensuring you do not burn your fingers.

Wood Care and Safety Guidelines
The bowl is supplied in a natural state without any chemical varnishes. Proper care is essential to ensure it serves you for years to come and to prevent the wood from cracking. Before its first use, it is absolutely necessary to thoroughly treat the wood with a high-quality, food-safe oil (such as linseed or walnut oil) to seal the pores and protect it from moisture. Under no circumstances should you wash the bowl in a dishwasher or place it in a microwave. Aggressive chemicals and extreme temperature fluctuations will cause irreversible warping and cracking. After a meal, simply wash it by hand with lukewarm water and a tiny drop of mild detergent, then dry it immediately. Do not leave it submerged in water for prolonged periods and do not serve boiling liquids in it, as this could damage the material or cause scalding.
