Fine Early 20th C. Hawaiian Milo Wood Goblet Calabash
Size: 5.875" diameter x 4.625" high
An exemplary goblet known as a calabash, hand-carved from milo wood to feature a deep bowl with smooth walls that flare outwards to an annular rim, all sitting upon a thick, short leg and conical foot. Golden hues of caramel and toffee swirl along the natural woodgrain surface, beautifully complementing the form of this elegant dish. In Hawaii, calabashes like this one are used a serving bowls. Their name comes from the gourd which they resemble.
