Black Ceramic Fruit Bowl

This black ceramic fruit bowl is handcrafted in Lombok, Indonesia, where villagers have been making pottery since the early part of the 16th century. The bowls are formed by hand, burnished, smoothened and dried. Following the firing process, when the pottery is still hot, the potters cover the pot with rice ash; the reaction of the oxides results in a beautiful black finish. Please note that as these bowls are made by hand there will be slight colour and size variations - this is the beauty and charm of this range of pottery.
