<p>[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 401286, member: 649"]This was my find today at a local thrift store. It’s huge! Slightly off round, it measures 17 inches in diameter in one direction and 16 inches in diameter in another. It’s a bit over 5 inches tall and slightly asymmetrical in height. There is a 2” rim crack. It looks a bit dark because I’ve just given it a go over with food-grade mineral oil. (It was dry and dusty when I bought it.) Also, I'm taking quickie photos in a not-so-well lit room.</p><p>I have seen large round bowls such as this referred to as dough bowls, as well as the elongated “trenchers”.
