Hand-Carved Blackwood Snack Bowls (Set of 3)

Qäsa Qäsa Carvers finds inspiration in the shapes, tastes and culture of Tanzania, using this as momentum when creating these snack bowls. They stay true to the technique that’s been passed down through the Makonde tribe’s generations, where blackwood is carved into shape before being finished with a free-hand technique that lends a naturally smooth result. Perfectly sized for olives and nuts, they also make wonderful pinch bowls.

Moved by the wonderful taste and culture of Tanzania, Qäsa Qäsa Carvers responsibly source Mninga and African Blackwood to create their collection of kitchen and home utensils. Every piece is hand-carved from a single piece of wood using hammers, chisels and rasps, before being sanded and smoothed in a way that celebrates the wood’s natural grain. Preserving traditions and cultural heritage, the maker financially supports, champions and fosters the skills of talented artisans in the Makonde tribe, who apply time-honoured, wood-carving skills to each and every characterful piece.
