Fayoum Pottery Blue Striped Serving Bowl 17cm – Handmade Egyptian Ceramic
Couldn't load pickup availability
A side bowl painted with vertical indigo stripes of uneven width, hand-drawn against a cream ground. The irregularity of the stripes is the point — the brush picks up more pigment on some strokes than others, and the slightly varying gaps give the bowl a woven, almost textile feel. The exposed terracotta foot shows the clay beneath.
A versatile everyday size for olives, dips, sides or a single portion. Pairs comfortably with plain linen and other indigo-toned pieces.
Handmade in Tunis Village, Fayoum. See how it's made →
