Olive Wood Double Bowl With Spoon
Couldn't load pickup availability
Hand-carved olive wood twin bowl with a matching spoon. A neat way to separate food into two sections, or to serve two small portions at once — the spoon slots into the centre groove for easy packing and keeping together as a set.
Looking for a zero-waste alternative to plastic? They also make lovely baby food bowls, with the spoon perfectly shaped for little mouths.
Who made your bowl?
Our contemporary wooden products are hand-carved in a Nairobi workshop run by Zephania, one of the founders of the popular Maasai Market in Westlands. They are made from wild olive wood, sustainably sourced from Zephania’s own plantations in his hometown of Kisii, where he continually replants trees.

Care
Olive wood has an excellent reputation for being harder and less porous than other woods. Hand wash with a mild detergent and warm water, avoiding boiling water and dishwashers, as high temperatures can cause the wood to expand and split. Always towel dry after washing to prevent moisture cracks. The same applies to any pieces with horn or bone accents.
Once a month, treat with a food-safe mineral oil (we like to use olive oil) — rub in a small amount with a soft cloth to condition the wood and restore its warm, polished look.
