Vintage Teak Low Bowl

The teak low bowls feature a rich color, varying woodgrains, and are ideally sized for single servings, making them a complementary addition to other dishes and plates. Each product in this range of tableware is hand made from a single piece of Thai teak wood, which is an abundant natural resource native to Southeast Asia, and is treated with food-safe palm oil.

As second-generation craftsmen working with wood and lumber, the artisans who create these pieces are environmentally-sensitive, seeking to sustainably maintain their craft in connection with the forest. Every source of this teak is certified by the Department of Forestry to have used sustainable farming practices. The wood is also harvested at the precise age when the tree yields the highest quality materials, ensuring long-lasting use. Teak’s high oil content, tensile strength, and tight grain make it particularly suitable to withstand water and changing weather conditions. For this reason, teak is used in manufacturing a wide variety of goods, from furniture and boat decks, to cutting boards and kitchen utensils. As teak ages, it develops a remarkable patina, becoming darker with a rich, deep red color.

Care Instructions:
Wash with hot, soapy water after use. Dry lightly with a cloth and then allow the peice to air-dry. If strong smells from eating or cooking persist rub lemon into the wood to remove impurities. We reommend occasionally using a food-grade mineral oil to keep the teak from drying out or cracking, as well as to maintain the finish.
