Handmade Olive Wood Serving Utensils With Natural Batik Bone Handles (Kenya)

Bed Bath & Beyond

$29

Kick up your dinner parties with these gorgeous serving utensils. Crafted in oil treated olive wood with ethically sourced cow bone handles, these salad servers are sure to add a unique touch to your table setting. 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. The bone is "batiked" which is an age old art process used in Africa. The patterns are applied by placing wax on the white bone and dipping the bone into a dark brown/black dye, resulting in the beautiful African mud cloth designs. Story Behind the Art: Working with more than 100 individual carvers in Machakos, Kenya, Jedando Modern Handicrafts markets products primarily made of wood and bone worldwide. Carving is a tradition in Kenya with the children learning the craft from their parents. Carved by hand using only rudimentary hand tools, olive wood bowls, salad serving sets, and animal-shaped napkin rings take shape from pieces of olive wood, mahogany, and mpingo, or 'African Ebony.' The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
