Santo Domingo (Kewa) Magnificent Polychrome Dough Bowl, c. 1890’s

$11,500.00

This dough bowl has a very old traditional design of lemon shaped devices with double framing lines above and below, a design often used on Kewa 19th century dough bowls. . The beauty of the bowl is in the rich patina, the fire clouds on the outer bowl from traditional outdoor firing and a gorgeous red stone polished interior. It is large enough to have been used to mix dough as well as to bathe babies. A sumptuous example.
