Hand-Carved East African Wooden Bowl
This handmade wooden bowl comes from East Africa and was traditionally used as a plate, a unit of measure, or for storing dry goods. Crafted from lightweight wood, it has a small integrated handle that allows a string to be tied so it can be hung on the wall when not in use. The surface shows natural grain patterns and subtle variations from hand carving, giving it a warm, tactile character. A visible line in the wood is part of the carving process and is not a structural crack.
Beautiful displayed on a wall, holding fruits, or resting on open shelving, where its form and texture add an earthy, collected feeling to the space.
- Size: 27.5 cm (dia), 11.5 cm height.
- Material: Wood.
- Style: Traditional East African craftsmanship

Our pieces come with a past. Each item in our Vintage & Curated Collection has been previously owned, which means signs of age and wear are part of its story. Variations such as surface marks, patina, small imperfections, or gentle wear should be expected and are celebrated as part of what makes each piece unique. These cosmetic characteristics are not considered defects. Only issues that affect the usability of an item are classified as damage.

How do we pack our orders?
At Maison Maisonnette, every order is packed with the same care we put into sourcing it, and with the smallest possible footprint.
We use biodegradable, plastic-free materials, including starch-based packing peanuts. On rare occasions, fragile or delicate pieces may require plastic-based protective materials, to ensure your piece arrives safely.
Every parcel also arrives with a small thank-you card. Feel free to keep it as a bookmark, pin it to the fridge, or tuck it somewhere you'll see it again. We like to think it lingers a little, the way the rest of your Maison Maisonnette pieces do.
