Ayurveda is a system of alternative medicine that originated over 3,000 years ago in India, and encourages balance and harmony as part of a healthy lifestyle. Each bowl is finished with a burnt edge and a food-safe finish. Perfect for dips, oils, snacks, and more.

Who Made It: Your purchase builds the skills of poor and marginalized artisan groups in East India, enhancing their access to markets and information, and increasing their income and productivity in a sustainable way.

Since 1990, SERRV International has partnered with artisans in East India, providing a long-term trading partnership and interest-free advance payment for our orders. Through sales of their products, artisans from more than 70 craft groups (many are women), receive improved working conditions, stable incomes, and benefits from health campaigns. In addition, artisans receive help in finding needed export outlets for their handcrafts.

SERRV international is one of the first fair trade organizations in the world.
