Akiliba Gourd Vessel

$185.00

This beautiful earthenware gourd vessel embraces the wabi sabi theme of perfectly imperfect.  Decorative & textured with a rustic burnt finish, these vases are crafted in Uganda from locally-sourced clay.   

Material :  100% Clay      Origin:  Uganda    

In rural Northern Uganda you will find the village of Akiliba, home to our artisan partners who are determined to use pottery as a way to sustain their entire community. Their beautiful creations are hand-built using locally sourced clay and then stacked into a brush-covered mound for firing. 

NOTE:  Each vase is handmade using natural clay and fired in open flame; therefore, pigments and shapes may differ from piece to piece.  For decorative use only, not oven or dishwasher safe. Hand wash and air dry. Do not leave bowl soaking in water for more than 1 day otherwise clay may crack/break.
