This beautiful and practical bowl is hand carved from mango wood, a rich brown sustainable wood. The bowl has a thin striped design which is highlighted with a stylish polished finish. The bowl features an elegant pedestal design. These bowls have been handmade by skilled artisans working for an inspirational Fair Trade organization in northern India. Due to the handmade nature of these products designs may slightly vary but loveliness comes as standard. All their mango wood products are hand carved by WFTO-accredited producers in India. 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.
