This was hand carved in the phillipines, not sure when. I believe in the 1960's. It is made out of Monkey Pod. Each bowl comes out and the pineapple on top has serving spoons. This is a 3 layer one, they made/make ones that have 5 layers too.
I saw one at auction several months ago that looked almost just like this one!
thanks tkc. did they have any info on it? I have seen several of these on ebay, which is where I got mine from.
I'd say you're prolly close on the date. I picked up a couple of these in the early 70s when on a WestPac cruise at the end of Vietnam. Service guys picked up all sorts of carved furniture and stuff in those days. They prolly still make 'em today.
thanks tall cakes and ar8 jason. We have really enjoyed it. The person I purchased it from said it was from the 60's
