Handmade Set of 2 Le Souk Olivique Olive Wood Natural Form Small Oval Bowls (Tunisia)

Description

Serve in style using this set of two natural form bowls made by artisans in Tunisia using olive wood. These Le Souk Olivique bowls have a rich coloring that will make your table and food even more attractive. Le Souk Ceramique finishes its olive wood pieces with its own proprietary mixture of soy oil, food-grade paraffin wax (like that used on fruit sometimes) and beeswax. Le Souk Ceramique uses only olive wood that has been cut with Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture certification as no longer fruit-bearing for olive oil production. For lasting quality, Le Souk Ceramique suggests reapplying any type of vegetable oil to the olive wood item periodically. Simply rub oil in with a paper towel. Le Souk Ceramique hand-finishes all of its olive wood items so each piece will vary in wood grain and in some cases, the exact cut and shape.Product Features:Worldstock Country: TunisiaShape: OvalBowl Type: Serving Bowls, Salad BowlsMaterial: WoodPattern: Olive WoodSet Include: 2 PieceCare Instruction: Hand WashColor: BrownStory Behind the Art:Nestled in the small Tunisian town of Nabeul on the Mediterranean coast, Le Souk Ceramique and its olive wood division Le Souk Olivique, employ some 50 plus local artisans full-time to create beautiful handmade, hand-painted ceramic and carved olive wood pieces. The entire production is performed by the artisans. The wood used to make the Le Souk Olivique pieces comes from olive trees that can no longer produce fruit ensuring a sustainable wood harvesting practice. The Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture verifies non fruit bearing trees, and certifies them before they are cut down. Once an olive tree is cut down, young saplings are planted in its place. Le Souk Olivique and Le Souk Ceramique provide their artisans with healthcare, social security, fair wages, and safe working conditions. The company is evolving to function as an artisan cooperative, completely owned and controlled by the skilled artisans themselves.What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design.
