Varnhem Drinking Bowl, Handmade

This Viking Age bowl is based on a find in Värnhem, Gotland in Sweden. It is decorated with a series of oblique marks, just as the original find. The bowl is wholly handmade without a potter’s wheel, just as the original was made over 1000 years ago. The shape makes it perfect for enjoying larger beverage servings.

In order to make it more durable and easier to clean, it’s made with a with a matte glazing inside. This allows it to be washed in a dish washer and it can also withstand a microwave oven.
