A beautifully sculptural hand-carved monkey pod wood bowl in a classic fish form, complete with stylized tail details and a warm honey-toned finish.
Pieces like this became popular throughout the 1950s–1970s, particularly in California, Hawaii, and other coastal regions where organic forms and natural materials were embraced as part of the era's relaxed indoor-outdoor lifestyle. This one is from the Phillipines.
The elongated shape feels distinctly atomic-age and tropical modern at the same time.
Perfect as a centrepiece, entryway catchall, dining table accent, or simply displayed on a shelf as a decorative object. The grain has developed a rich patina over the years, giving it the warmth and character that only vintage wood acquires.
Stamped "Monkey Pod" on the underside.
Very good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear.
Dimensions:
18" L
