Textured Soapstone Incense Holder Bowl in Marbled Pink | Handmade in Kenya

$44.00
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
Color: Textured Pink

A sculptural, pedestal-based incense bowl in marbled pink soapstone — a tactile, textured exterior with a smooth interior, designed to catch falling ash while looking good doing it.

Soapstone is a tactile, marble-like stone, and being a natural material, every piece varies slightly in colour and pattern — pink can arrive in a rosy or peachy tone. Ours are polished and finished with natural beeswax.

Who made your soapstone carving?

Hand carved by the Tabaka Youth Self Help Group, a collective of soapstone artisans based in Tabaka, South West Kenya, founded in 1996 and led today by Bonnie. The group carves each piece from soapstone quarried locally, continuing a craft the region has been known for over generations.

Care

Handle with care and wash by hand — soapstone isn't suitable for the dishwasher. Dry between uses to maintain the finish.
