    The bowl was turned from a slice of tree. The dark is heart/sapwood probably. It looks old, but how old I haven't a clue.

    It's a bit of a guess, but I'd say it's from India (or a close-by neighbor). There's a tradition of turned, painted bowls, often with lids, from that part of the world.
