These shallow footed bowls are each cut across the grain and finished on a pole lathe with a recessed foot for stacking. The bowls are known in three or four sizes, these 18cm diameter examples being the largest of the known sizes. Edward Pinto in his book Treen and Other Wooden Bygones discusses the theory that the bowls emanated from a large farm located in Sussex, and were manufatured from the 18th century onwards, cotinuing the tradition at this particular farmhouse. See section IV, page 89, plate 84. A further example is illustrated in Jonathan Levi's book Treen for the Table page 150, plate 11/19. Some later smaller examples can be found banded in iron. These early examples are in their original dry state unwaxed.
