Artfully carved from a single piece of wild olive wood using simple hand tools, this rustic pair of wooden salad servers showcase the beautiful natural wood grain, contrasted by simple white cow bone handles.
Because these are made by hand using rudimentary hand tools, no two are identical and variations are to be appreciated and enjoyed by the consumer.
Socially responsible product assortments that are empowering consumers to purchase according to their values and help alleviate poverty. Fair Trade is so much more than a product assortment. It's about safe workplaces, fair wages + community investment for factory employees.
Ethically handmade in Kenya from wood and bone. Handles are from highly polished and sanitized cow bone, sourced from natural causes.
Meet the Carvers of the Kamba Tribe who reside in Machakos, Kenya. The economically disadvantaged group continues the tradition of wood and bone carving that has been a part of the tribe for generations. They are paid fair wages for these beautiful pieces that support their families and community. There is a large population of orphans within the tribe and as a community, they support the children. The craftspeople are educated on the need for reforestation to honor the land and plant seeds in the rainy season. This will create a sustainable income for future generations to come.
Each piece is approximately 11-inches in length. Due to the hand-carved nature, the actual size may vary by up to an inch.
Care: Hand washes only.
Periodically treat wood with food-grade mineral oil or olive oil to maintain its beauty and luster.
