Olive Wood Bowl-Basket With Handle

Our olive wood bowl-basket with a handle is a unique and versatile handcrafted item that merges the function of a bowl with the portability and rustic charm of a basket. It is typically a single piece of deeply carved olive wood, valued for its unique aesthetics, durability, and practical design. 

• Integrated Handle Design: The bowl is seamlessly integrated with one or more handles carved directly from the same single piece of wood, allowing for easy and comfortable transport of contents from the kitchen to the table.
• Unique Aesthetic: Each piece is one-of-a-kind, showcasing rich, swirling grain patterns and warm golden-brown tones that bring a natural, organic elegance to any home decor. The craftsmanship often highlights the natural shape and beauty of the wood.
• Durable and Long-Lasting: Olive wood is an extremely hard and dense hardwood, making the bowl-basket strong, resilient, and resistant to stains, odors, cracking, and splintering with proper care.
• Hygienic and Food-Safe: The natural oils within the wood provide inherent antibacterial properties, making it a hygienic choice for serving food. The item is typically finished with food-safe oils or beeswax and contains no harmful chemicals or sealants.
• Versatile Use: Ideal for serving fruits, bread rolls, nuts, or snacks, this item can also be used as a decorative centerpiece, a catch-all for keys and mail, or for displaying small household items.
• Sustainable Sourcing: The wood is often sourced from very old olive trees that have reached the end of their natural fruiting life or from pruned branches, making it an environmentally conscious and sustainable choice. 

• Hand Wash Only: Wash gently with warm water and mild soap. Avoid soaking the item in water for extended periods.
• Avoid Dishwashers/Microwaves: It is not dishwasher or microwave safe, as the extreme heat and moisture can cause the wood to dry out, warp, or crack.
• Oil Occasionally: Periodically apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil or olive oil using a soft cloth. This helps maintain the wood’s natural luster and prevents it from drying out over time.
