Original Description:
This is a Vintage TURNED MULGA WOOD BOWL with Lid  8cm (3 1/8th ") tall (including the lid and the knob on the lid). Diametrically across the top (without the lid) measures 8cm ( 3 1/8th"). The bowl is wider in the middle and measures approx 9.5cm (3 3/4") across.There are scratches on the base and there is a hole where the lathe would have attached. The maker's sticker is over this area and has mainly worn off. There are tiny indents around the inner lip of the bowl where the lid... fits in. The colour of this wood is natural and has been coated with a clear lacquer or varnish. It weighs 260gms.
 I have had this on my dresser for many years, but now I am down sizing and selling some of my favourite things. This would have been made in the 1940s, 1950s.
About Mulga Wood:
Acacia aneura, commonly known as mulga or true mulga, is a shrub or small tree native to arid outback areas of Australia, such as the Western Australian Mulga shrublands.Although generally small in size, mulgas are long-lived, a typical life spancfor a tree undisturbed by fire is of the order of 200 to 300 years.Mulga has developed extensive adaptations to the Australian desert. Like many Acacia species, it has thick-skinned phyllodes. These are optimised for low water loss, with a high oil content, sunken stomata, and a profusion of tiny hairs which reduce transpiration. During dry periods, mulgas drop much of their foliage to the ground, which provides an extra layer of mulch and from where the nutrients can be recycled.Like most Australian Acacia species, mulga is thornless.

Condition is Used.
