These beautifully crafted wooden bowls with fitted lids are inspired by a remarkable find from the Oseberg ship burial, bringing a touch of Viking heritage into your home. Whether used in the kitchen to store fragrant herbs or as a stash box for silver from your hoard, this piece is as practical as it is historic.
The lid is secured with an antler button, holding everything in place—almost as tight as modern Tupperware! Well, perhaps not that tight, but we’d argue this Viking version is far more ingenious and infinitely more charming.
What truly sets this piece apart is the stave carved into the lid—our own Bákurholt Bær stave, a symbol of family and friends, peace, tranquility, and rest, as well as deep respect and love for the land. More than just a container, this bowl carries meaning and tradition, embodying the values that made a Viking homestead strong.
Perfect for reenactors, history lovers, or anyone who appreciates finely crafted wooden wares, this "Viking Tupperware" proves that good design stands the test of time. Because, let’s be honest, one can never have too many well-made vessels to safeguard their treasures!
