Leila Platter
Fairtrade and handmade using environmentally-friendly recycled materials, this platter is crafted by a local women’s group in Hebron, Palestine that strive to alleviate local poverty and unemployment, whilst sustaining Palestinian handicraft workmanship traditions. A beautiful addition to your kitchen that is a keeper.
Traditionally gifted to newly weds, buy it for yourself or gift it. It would make a great gift idea as housewarming, newlywed, Christmas, birthday, for history fans, folklore item collectors, chef, cooks and friends and family alike.
Khitam hand paints all of the ceramics. Working in a community with high unemployment enables her to economically support herself and her family; she summarised the impact and her feeling towards this undertaking is a few words;
she said, "now I cannot live without it”. Scroll down to see her in action.
Please be aware these are handmade so each is unique in style and may vary in terms of measurements and patterns.
