Bring authentic rustic charm to your home with this Antique Chinese Elm Wash Bowl, once used for everyday washing and bathing. Now weathered and worn by decades of use, each bowl tells a story through its rich patina and gently softened shape.
Crafted from solid elm and originally used for laundry in traditional Chinese households, these bowls have aged beautifully. No longer watertight, they’re now ideal as statement decorative pieces. Whether you're styling a coastal beach house, modern rustic interior, or Scandi-inspired space, these bowls make a striking and soulful addition.
We currently have three bowls available, each slightly different in size and finish. Two of the bowls feature daisy wheel folk art markings on the base—symbols often associated with good fortune and protection.
Perfect for use as:
-
A natural wood table centrepiece
-
A base for dried flowers or sculptural objects
-
A tactile, characterful layer in a calm, neutral interior
