Material: Wood, can’t see grain through dark stain and patina
Condition: Commensurate with age and use; small, restored chip to rim, displays well
Additional Information: A rare survivor considering that the majority
of those extant are pewter, brass, silver, and glazed earthenware. This
example was turned on a pole lathe.
Edward H. Pinto suggests in his book Treen and other wooden bygones, pp. 13
and 14 that most survivors are probably of the 17th or early 18th century;
they could be earlier. Albeit known as barbers’ bowls…they were not
necessarily made for shaving. Pinto discusses phlebotomy including
the origin of barber poles.
