19th C. Butternut Bowl and Carved Scoop
These were purchased together from the same house in Massachusetts but they can be sold separately. Both are butternut and probably from Connecticut or New York. The work bowl was probably made in the first half of the 1800s and shows old cut marks on the inside. Outside a warm amber patina and the remains of black paint. No cracks or splits or voids. 18” x 6½”. The 22” long scoop has a serpentine handle and a carved terminal. The surface has never been painted and is now smooth from wear. Great tool marks on the bowl. Bowl $550; Scoop $650
