- Item: HS117 Quite Rare
- Description: Kentucky Steatite / stone Bowl w/ nutting dimple- I believe that this Unusual piece is made of a low grade Steatite, but it may be some other stone. It was found in Fayette County, Kentucky. It is quite heavy, weighing in at almost 4 pounds. The INTERESTING part of this bowl is that it has a "Nutting Dimple" on the bottom side like you would find in a nutting stone from this area. (see photos) The inside of the bowl shows much use as it is fairly smooth. (see photos) The outside surface is "pecked" into shape. (see photos). This piece was purchased in a group of artifacts on a board which hung in Green's Filling Station on Harrodsburg Road in Lexington, KY, where Ramsey's Diner now stands, from around 1940 until around 1974. It was then purchased by Prewitt Breeze. Ex- Prewitt Breeze Collection, Ex- Monty Pennington
