Kanake Bowl | Natural

The large Kanake Bowl is an antique statement piece.

The Kanake Bowl has been used in traditional Hindu ceremonies as a tool to carry foods in by putting it on the head while walking.

This bowl is hand-carved from the root of a teak tree, a true one-of-a-kind. Artisans have crafted these bowls while preserving the natural beauty and shape of the root. The result of their craftsmanship is a striking display bowl with an organic edge and irregular form, including tree trunk formations and separations.

The Kanake Bowl makes for a stunning centrepiece. 

DIA 45-55cm | H 25cm approx

Each tree trunk's shape combined with hand-carving techniques by skilled native craftspeople means each Kanake bowl is unique in design. Appearance, shapes and sizes will vary.

The bowl will be enjoyed for many years to come with the proper care and attention; wash by hand using a gentle detergent.

This piece is made from selectively salvaged reclaimed teak which has naturally aged over decades of exposure to the elements.

The ageing process is reflected throughout each piece, presenting unique markings and diverse colour tones. These characteristics form part of the authenticity and beauty of reclaimed teak.

The natural tendency for teak is to patina beautifully into a silvery-grey look, which develops over time in natural conditions, including sunlight and ambient moisture.

Over time, natural splitting, cracking, and loss of natural oils may occur and form part of the characteristics and beauty of this product. These are not viewed as imperfections or faults, rather part of the natural life and beauty of timber.
