This absolutely beautiful serving bowl is from Vietnam and handcrafted out of Mango wood.  The mango is sourced from controlled sustainable plantations, where older trees are harvested and replaced with younger trees in a process that protects the mango forests.  It is handmade by artisans who are working in safe and comfortable working environments, and who are fairly compensated for their work.  The item is not only unique and stylish, but it is also socially responsible.  It's durable enough for everyday use, but also beautiful enough to display.
