These Teak Root Bowls come from a long-standing AW supplier in Situbondo, East Java — an area with a real tradition of working with teak root and natural wood forms.
Our supplier is a husband-and-wife team who regularly make the journey from East Java across to Bali, bringing their artisan wares direct to our AW warehouse. It is not exactly a quick pop round the corner either — there is a truck, a ferry, and a fair bit of Indonesian road involved. Proper commitment, basically.
Once the bowls arrive at our Bali warehouse, the AW team checks them carefully. We carry out quality control, clean and oil the bowls where needed, then add barcodes, hangtags and protective packaging ready for export.
This extra step is important. Teak root bowls are naturally rustic and individual, but they still need to be retail-ready. Our job is to keep the beautiful handmade character while making sure the products are practical for shops to receive, display and sell.
Teak root is wonderful because it does not behave like ordinary factory-cut wood. The artisan works with the natural grain, curves and shape of the root, so each bowl has its own look and personality. Some are smooth and elegant, others a little more wild and earthy. That is very much part of the appeal.
