Casa Cubista - Waxed Cork Bowl - Large
$58.00
We're happy to be working with our local family-owned cork company to make these solid cork bowls. Designed to look as handsome empty as when they're filled with bits and bobs, each bowl is finished with natural beeswax for durability, and to also allow them to be used to serve dry goods (think nuts, etc). Interestingly, to get the cork to this rich dark coffee colour, the cork is actually 'cooked.'
25 years into its life, the bark of the cork oak tree is first harvested by hand, then after this the bark is removed every 9-10 years. Driving through southern Portugal you'll often spot trees whose bark has been removed, with a number painted on the trunk denoting the year when it can next be harvested.
Made in Portugal

Visit product page →We think the graphic lines work beautifully on this simple, playful form of this pitcher, giving it a modern rustic feel. Each is hand painted by craftspeople at a family-owned local pottery and each is, as we love to say, 'perfectly imperfect'.
This pitcher will easily handle 2L (67oz) of, may we suggest, sangria or iced tea.
Care: Hand wash recommended. Please note, this pitcher may initially feel damp on the base when filled. This is a perfectly natural process called sweating, and will lessen over time and use.
Material: Terracotta
Dimensions: 19cm (height) x approx. 19cm (width, including handle).Handmade in Portugal

Available in Ray, Dash and Stripe patterns.
Mix it up! We love when patterns mix and match which is why we came up with these three coordinating patterns - Ray, Stripe and Dash. The graphic lines work beautifully on these traditional low bowls, and each is hand painted by craftspeople at a family-owned local pottery. They are, as Casa Cubista loves to call them, perfectly imperfect - And they're all the better for it.
Use this bowl just about anywhere in the house - On a desk to gather bits and bobs or at the table serving up something fresh and delicious.
Care: Hand wash recommended.

Made by a pottery in the Alentejo region of Portugal, these 1L terracotta jugs are prized for their graphic blue and white/black and white design and the fact that each is hand-thrown and hand-decorated.
Please note, since these are handmade items we think of them as 'perfectly imperfect' and any mark in the glaze only adds to the charm of the piece.
Care: Hand wash recommended. Please note, this pitcher may initially feel damp on the base when filled. This is a perfectly natural process called sweating, and will lessen over time and use.

Simple, bold lines meet traditional shapes and finishes handmade by craftspeople at a family owned local pottery. They are, as we love to call them, perfectly imperfect - And they're all the better for it.
Use this  bowl just about anywhere. In the kitchen or at the table (we're thinking homemade jam in one and really good butter in the other), or use them to gather bits and bobs around the house. Jewelry, keys, change, it's up to you!
