Don't Throw Away Those Dough Bowls

jubilant — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 16:10:41 GMT

I was thinking about giving away my large dough bowl until I saw this.....something for almost every decor style. Mine is more rustic looking but I realize one can bring it up to a more modern, eclectic, whatever look ....with a little imagination.

What are dough bowls?

I actually prefer the more rustic look, the more the better, even in slick, sophisticated settings. They are an interesting counterpoint to the contemporary.

@CherryHugs it's a bowl for making dough. In older times people would put the flour in one side of the bowl and the liquid and/or eggs in the other side. They would then pull the flour into the liquid mixing it until it got to the right consistency rather than measuring the flour. Even recently I've seen biscuits made that way i a Youtube tutorial. Probably not as messy as my method. I can make good biscuits, but oh the mess.

My dough bowl is not as large as those posted but I do use mine through out the year.

We have one sitting on our entry piece in New Mexico. It has our sage bundles displayed in it.

Thank you.. I didn't know about "dough bowls" but now will look for them in antique and used goods stores.

Give it away! That's what I've been doing the last two days. Get rid of the clutter!!!!!! I am at that stage of life now!

All of you who have too much stuff! I am here to say don't hang on to it, get rid of it.

I have to say this apologies to all above--but if anyone is reading this and thinking maybe they will/won't if they have one I just in good spirit give them my blessing to divest themselves of many "things!"! LOL!!!

Beautiful photos, @jubilant , and it's fun to see you here again!

I don't have any of the long, rectangular trough-like ones which are so versatile for display and other uses. Are you lucky enough to have one of those? I just have three old, 'relatively' round ones of different sizes, and love them, plain or filled.

My favorite thing of all is to simply stack them-- more drama, and the different woods and patinas contrast in a pretty way.

I have just one, oblong dough bowl. When I am in the decorating "mood", I always find a way to incorporate it with my seasonal decor, whatever season that may be. I love mine.

@Sooner I know what you mean. We had a big cleaning out of our house this year..... all the closets and even the attic! We will no longer have to go to the attic for anything and that's a good feeling.

The dough bowl is big and was in my kitchen full of apples and pears but it took up too much room in my small kitchen. I have been looking for a center piece for my dining room table and I thought ...why not use my big dough bowl! I really like several of these I posted. I want to pick out one I can change up easily for Fall and Christmas with decor I already have.

@Oznell Thank you....it's good to be back.

I do have a big dough bowl. It is big..... 18" L X 12" W and 6" deep. Right now it's in my kitchen with fruit. It's way too big and takes up a lot of counter space that I really need. I tried it on my dining table and it's a perfect size for that room and table.

I did not know either. Interesting. Good way to do it sounds like.

Oh, yeah, that's big, @jubilant -- I can see how it would work so well in a dining room.

They're so useful-- once I saw a photo of a long one, being jauntily used under a coffee table to neatly corral books and magazines-- looked great!

Not familiar with dough bowls - not sure I've actually seen one. The creative minds that put those centerpieces together are so talented.

Lovely photos and centerpieces. I've never had a dough bowl, but will keep my eyes open for them, next time I'm in an antique shop.

Yes. I just went to a big antique mall and there were quite a few very nice ones that I saw and all different sizes, too!
