### Condition Notes:
This bowl is in beautiful vintage structural condition with no cracks, structural splits, or repairs. The wood has been freshly cleaned and treated with food-safe mineral oil, deep-hydrating the teak and restoring its signature rich, warm mid-century honey glow. As a vintage item, it shows light, age-appropriate surface signs of use, including some minor micro-scratching/frictional scuffs along the upper outer rim edges near the tapered tip, which blend nicely with the oiling. Hinge imprint and stamp on the base are clear and sharp. Please review the high-resolution photos to inspect the exact condition.
Comes from a smoke-free environment. Ships promptly and securely packaged to preserve the wood interior.
