Acacia Wood Bowl Appraisal

Small Square Acacia Wood Serving Bowl

This is a small, square-shaped serving bowl hand-carved from solid acacia wood. The bowl features a warm, honey-toned finish with prominent organic grain patterns and natural chatoyancy ranging from golden brown to dark cocoa swirling throughout the wood. It measures approximately 4 to 6 inches in diameter with soft, rounded corners and a slightly tapered base. The construction is solid and single-piece (monolithic), indicating it was turned or carved from a single block of wood rather than joined from planks. Noteworthy markings include a large, original retail label on the underside, displaying the retail SKU 'MST-480-0155', a barcode '738774481524', and manufacturing information stating it was 'Made in Philippines' and marketed by Walmart Stores, Inc. based in Bentonville, AR. The label also includes specific wood care instructions, advising against soaking and highlighting that it is not dishwasher or microwave safe. The condition appears to be excellent and unused, with the original sticker fully intact and no visible scratches, cracks, or fading to the material's satin finish. This mass-produced contemporary rustic kitchenware piece showcases standard craftsmanship with a smooth, sanded exterior and interior, reflecting a style popular in the early 21st century for eco-friendly home decor.
