Handmade Gifts from the UNICEF Market

Earth, Sand and Sea Stoneware Bowls

UNICEF Market was conceived as an online store for people shopping for unusual, well-designed and beautifully crafted items. The UNICEF Market customers get great handcrafted products and part of the proceeds goes to both the talented artisans and to help UNICEF save and protect children. It’s a win-win when you shop at UNICEF Market for all of your gift-giving or personal needs.

When you shop at the UNICEF Market you will find beautiful jewelry items, home decor products, clothing and accessories. I love that they featured all handcrafted items from very talented artisans.

For the review I selected the Set of 3 Handcrafted Ceramic Bowls from Mexico in the ‘Earth, Sand and Sea’ design. I decorate my home in a coastal style and I knew these bowls would be perfect for me! They are handmade by Raul and Guadalupe Figueroa in Mexico.

Earth, Sand and Sea Stoneware Bowls

The bowls are made out of stoneware and are the perfect sized serving bowls for all of your condiments, sauces and dips. The beautiful glaze that transitions from dark chocolate brown to sandy beige to brilliant green and then to a beautiful ocean blue.

Small: 1.6″ H x 3.7″ Diam.
Medium: 2.4″ H x 4.5″ Diam.
Large: 3″ H x 4.9″ Diam.

My purchase also came with an artisan card which gave me information about the artist who created my product(s) and I just love that little touch!

My order arrived within 1 week and as soon as I took them out of the shipping box I gasped at their beauty. Oh my gosh…my photos do not do them any type of justice! I love the graduated coloring, the glaze that the artist used and the bowls are very nicely shaped and balanced. These are weighty little serving bowls and when you hold them in your hands you can tell that they are high-quality and will last for many years.

I am going to get a lot of use out of these little serving bowls because we do a lot of home entertaining. I am always having friends & family over for dinner and get-togethers and these bowls are going to be beautiful on my table! I am going to be watching that artist and I am hoping that they will create some additional matching pieces to go along with my little bowls in the future!

Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is just around the corner. Along with those you’ve got graduation gifts and wedding gifts too! Head on over to the UNICEF Market and take a look around. I think you are going to love what you see!
