Vintage Indian Bleached Parat Bowl

Once a staple in Northern Indian kitchens, this vintage parat plate was traditionally used for kneading dough for chapati and roti. Women would gather around with their parats, pressing dough into the timber base and letting it rise — a quiet ritual repeated daily.

With its soft bleached finish and worn, textural surface, this piece carries the gentle imprint of a life well used. Each one is unique, shaped by time and touch. Today, it brings a sense of grounding to modern interiors — use it to display clustered candles, seasonal fruits, or as a sculptural catch-all on a console or coffee table. A simple, soulful object that adds warmth, character, and quiet beauty to any setting.
