MALI RIBBED TRAY

These attractive Mali Ribbed terracotta and white glazed trays form the perfect base for the Mali ribbed collection. Its purpose need not be limited to serving tea as the tactile glaze forms a pretty base for fruit, cakes and other sharing foods.

These tactile pieces are produced in a small kiln, made simply from bricks and lit by an open fire. The process is time consuming, but we believe it is well worth the wait. Our Mali pottery is handmade in southern India as part of a fair-trade project. The project was established to provide training and secure employment for men and women both, from disadvantaged backgrounds. The scheme now employs 40 people and focuses particularly on empowering women in the workplace.
