Authentic 19th century Norwegian “Grøtambar” from Gudbrandsdalen, a traditional wooden porridge storage box used in rural households.
This hand-carved vessel features classic Norwegian acanthus scrollwork deeply carved into solid wood, reflecting the regional folk art tradition of Gudbrandsdalen. Such boxes were used to store porridge, dairy products, or food for farm workers and were often decorated to show craftsmanship and local identity.
