II_0009 Tiny Wooden Bowl (4"x1-1/2")
This round wooden soup bowl is approximately 6 inches in diameter and is approximately 2 inches tall. This is a small size soup bowl, suitable for a small portion of a side dish, desert or as a "discard bits" bowl. This plate is hand carved from one solid piece of a pacific island hardwood known as Acacia wood (or "monkeypod").
Several hours of hand polishing produces a smooth, lustrous finish. Pillaged Village "II_" series woodenware has all been hand carved making each piece unique. Some variation in size and shape is to be expected since they are individually handmade. Several hours of hand polishing produces a smooth, lustrous finish.
Acacia wood is an environmentally friendly hardwood which is grown in the Pacific Islands, and is very popular for its beautiful grain and contrasting walnut brown to light tan colors. Acacia wood items have a naturally high resin content which resists absorption of stains, odors and liquids.
The Pillaged Village purchases our woodenwares from a company which promotes Ecological Foresting and fosters the environmental, social and economic sustainability of their South Pacific Forests.
To clean, hand wash with a mild detergent and air dry. No wood is dishwasher safe! These bowls must not be placed in a dishwasher or soaked in water. With proper care and attention they will last a lifetime and become even more beautiful with age.
With time and use, this bowl may eventually dry out. To preserve the natural finish of the wood, we recommend applying refined mineral oil occasionally. The frequency of application would depend on the amount of use. Vegetable or other types of "food" oil are not recommended due to the concern that they could become rancid over time. The oil will help maintain the vitality of the wood and restore the wood's natural sheen.
This bowl (as well as many other items) is available in quantity to qualified retailers for wholesale purchase. Please inquire for additional information if you are interested in becoming a Pillaged Village wholesale customer.
