A small team of Kenyan ceramics artisans excel at fashioning functional art from clay. Their newest line of low-fired pottery pieces centers around lizards, molded artfully in clay to bring a touch of Kenya's diverse natural world to the home. This small vessel can be used to hold kitchen utensils, pens and pencils or dry snacks. Please note that if intending to use this vessel as a planter, no bottom drain hole is present.
Sold singly. Because this is a handcrafted item, each will vary slightly. Dark inclusions from firing are to be expected.

We believe that hardworking African artisans, producers and export agents hold the key to their own personal success, and that the path to success requires a steady, committed pace. Swahili extends each artisan's channel of trade from local markets to the global marketplace, all the while providing artisans with options to work from the comfort of their own homes and communities. Secure in the knowledge that the fair payment they receive will not be reduced by traveling expenses, childcare costs and haggled prices, most artisans in the Swahili network promote their family's future by using earnings to put food on the table and pay educational expenses for their children.
