This dainty bowl is strong and mighty!!!  It is hand and machine carved by a trio of self-taught brothers in Guatemala.  They take great care to prepare and carve the initial shape before they are expertly turned by machine.  The process takes great time and care.  Once they are sanded and complete, they are passed to our master, self-taught painter.  He mixes all the colors by hand and collaborates with us until we achieve just the right hues.  Then he adorns them with a sophisticated gold rim.  We think they are charming and supremely thoughtful! We hope they will spark conversation, provide words of encouragement to someone who needs it or becomes a word of endearment for someone special.  They make a perfect gift and will be delightfully wrapped.

 Details:

• Made and hand painted entirely of wood in Guatemala
• Hand lettered by an American hand letter artist
• Avoid extreme dryness or moisture
• Approximate size dimensions:  1” tall x 3.5” diameter
• Care instructions: wipe with a soft, dry cloth
• As with anything handmade, each piece is unique and there will be slight variations in shape, color and size

At Orphan Outreach Marketplace, we believe in restoring hope to the children, families and artisans we serve. So, we created our Re | store collection. The prefix ‘re’ is a Latin root meaning ‘again and again,’ indicating repetition. We are carefully curating this collection across multiple product lines, and it is our hope that it will remind each of us…again and again, to love, serve, and pray for those close to us as well as those a world away.
