Description

I seem to be getting a lot of "firsts" this month, and here is another one, and this one is a bit of a mystery to what it was used for....it is a solid elm bowl and it has been nicely turned and there is a shallow gulley running around the inner edge with a raised centre....I was told that it was for breaking nuts on the centre and they would fall into the gulley...I don't think so, as you would see lots of hammering marks, there are no marks....to me it looks like something was pressed to squeeze the liquid out and it would drain into the gulley....but it is a very tactile piece of early elm and I am sure someone will let me know its purpose....it would make a great centre piece at a dinner party and you could place cheese on the centre and biscuits around the edge resting in the gulley...!

FAQs

Treen refers to small, functional wooden domestic objects made before the widespread use of plastics and modern manufacturing, often hand-turned or carved from local hardwoods.

Makers predominantly used native British hardwoods such as elm, sycamore, beech, and boxwood due to their durability and resistance to splitting during heavy daily use.

Authentic pieces typically display hand-turned concentric tool marks, heavy patination from centuries of grease and handling, shrinkage cracks, and irregular grain patterns characteristic of early lathe work.

Display primitive treen on open kitchen shelving, rustic console tables, or coffee table surfaces to introduce organic texture, warmth, and historical contrast to minimalist spaces.

Clean antique wood with a dry or barely damp cloth, avoiding soaking in water, and occasionally apply food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to prevent the timber from drying out and cracking.
