HAND MADE POTPOURRI BOWLS
I produce a line of beautiful and unique handmade potpourri bowls with ornate pewter tops.
The bowls are hand crafted, shaped, turned, sanded and finely finished with great care, producing one of a kind original pieces of art, no two bowls are alike.
Many types of choice woods are used, some are from one type and some from a combination of a variety of woods.
The bowls can be used with dried potpourri or as a stand alone display piece.
Dimensions are 5-6 inches in diameter and 3-5 inches in height. Each bowl is different and represents a variety of woods, shapes, designs and colors.
Thank you

Potpourri-a short history
Dried scented plant material has been used in rooms since ancient times in a variety of ways, It was common practice for the French in the early 17th century to use Potpourri mixture to scent their homes. The herbs were left for a day or two to become limp, then layered with coarse sea salt. Later on spices would be added to the mix until a pleasant fragrance was achieved. The finished potpourri was set out in special pots with perforated lids to perfume rooms. Modern potpourri consists of any decoratively shaped dried plant material with strong natural and synthetic perfumes added
