What a beautiful and versatile bowl this is! It will look great whether it's in the kitchen, living room, bedroom, or bathroom and will make anything it holds look instantly more attractive. The bowls are hand-carved with an elegant leaf design from sustainable mango wood and finished with antique white paint to give them a distinctive distressed look. These bowls have been handmade by skilled artisans working for an inspirational fair trade organization in northern India. All their mango wood products are hand carved by WFTO-accredited producers in India. Due to the handmade nature of these products designs may slightly vary but loveliness comes as standard. They are made entirely by hand using traditional skills handed down from generation to generation. Mango trees have an extremely long life but eventually do stop bearing fruit and are replaced by younger trees. As India produces, by far, the most mangos in the world this results in a massive industry using one of the most sustainable woods known to man.
