Antique Norwegian Dragon Ale Bowl | Handcarved Kjenge | Nordic Folk Art Beer Bowl | Rosemaling Painted Cup | Viking Style Decor
$650.00
Bring a piece of Norwegian drinking tradition into your home with this beautifully handcarved and hand-painted dragon-head ale bowl (kjenge), crafted in the late 1800s to early 1900s.
This antique wooden kjenge features a striking carved dragon head on one side and a curled tail handle on the other — a classic form found in historic Norwegian drinking vessels. The bowl is richly decorated with hand-painted rosemaling floral patterns in warm yellow, green, red, and blue tones, showcasing traditional Scandinavian folk design.
Originally used for serving ale during celebrations, this kjenge now makes a stunning rustic decor piece. Its soft aged patina, small wear marks, and time-worn paint give it the authentic charm expected of a 100+ year old folk art item.
Ideal as a centerpiece, display piece, or a unique collectible for lovers of Nordic craftsmanship.
