Object Description

An unusual set of four small lignum vitae wool bowls of traditional form, which were almost always made of lignum vitae for their weight, which kept them in a stable position. They were used for placing a ball of wool and with a smooth interior allowing the wool to unwind when in use without becoming tangled. All of them have a pleasing colour and retain a patination.
