About this product
Handcrafted in the village of Tunis — a picturesque settlement nestled between Lake Qaroun and the desert dunes of the Fayoum Oasis — the Scalloped Ceramic Mini Bowl is shaped by some of Egypt's most skilled living potters.
In the 1980s, Swiss ceramic artist Evelyn Porret founded a pottery school in Tunis, introducing the village children to the craft of clay. Her graduates became the village's master potters, shaping a distinctly Tunisian aesthetic: hand-formed pieces with a quiet originality that cannot be replicated by machine. Each piece is shaped from clay sourced along the Nile banks of Aswan, then hand-glazed — no two are identical.
The Scalloped Ceramic Mini Bowl features a softly curved, scalloped edge and a lustrous green glaze that deepens at its rim. The form is simple and considered — ideal for serving snacks, dips, or sauces, or used as a petite catchall on a desk or dressing table. Subtle variations in the glaze and form are not flaws — they are what make each bowl one of a kind.
Lead-free and food-safe. A functional object with genuine character.
