Scarce EARLY POLISH OR RUSSIAN WOOD BREAD PLATE This is a nice old European wooden bread plate. It has deep nicely hand carved design with wheat sheaf flanked by a scythe above a horse drawn plough ( Plow - no Horse ). These are all used to produce the flour used to make the bread, no matter what country you are from. There is Cyrillic lettering carved around the rim, however I do not read Polish or Russian so am unable to translate. I&nbs...p;assume it would translate to something like "Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread" as bread boards so often do in other languages, but I can't be sure.This is deep like a bowl for serving the bread. It does show some wear from use, a few nicks here and there but no cracks. You can also see the good wear on the bottom to support its old age. The details are still very beautiful and all intact and a beauty for any home and table. This plate measures approx 10" diameter X 1-1/4" deep. A really great early original authentic piece Please check out my item condition description and check out my photosso that you will know exactly what you are buying. Any questions PLEASEask!
