Our Malou bowls are carved from a single piece of wood and shaped for everyday use, originally used for collecting and storing milk in Nigeria. The deep, rounded form is practical by design, with visible carving marks and occasional side handles that show how each bowl was worked and carried. Most pieces hold a dark brown patina developed through years of use and no two are exactly alike in size, shape or detail. Use it as a tabletop vessel, an object on open shelving or as a standalone piece that adds material history without turning the room into a display.
