One-of-a-kind piece

A generous Moroccan couscous bowl in walnut, dating to the early 20th century. Broad in form and quietly sculptural, it reflects the enduring intelligence of vernacular domestic objects—pieces shaped by use, ritual and the rhythms of everyday life. The timber has a rich warmth and depth, with a surface gently marked by time, giving the bowl both presence and tactility. Originally made for communal dining, it now sits just as naturally as a serving piece, centrepiece or decorative object. A simple form, elevated by proportion, material and age.

Does the bowl sit flat and stable on a surface, or does it wobble/rock due to its hand-carved and aged form?
