Hand-Painted Ceramic Bowl – Kuffiyeh Pattern
Handmade in the Old City of Hebron (Al-Khalil), Palestine
This striking ceramic bowl is hand-shaped and hand-painted in Hebron’s Old City, where Palestinian artisans have been working in clay for centuries. The intricate black-and-white pattern is inspired by the kuffiyeh, a symbol of Palestinian resilience and identity, carefully rendered with traditional ceramic glazes.
Each bowl carries with it the memory of Hebron’s historic kilns — where families of artisans have preserved ceramic-making across generations, despite the pressures of occupation and the ongoing erosion of cultural industry. The process itself is an act of continuity: shaping the clay by hand, applying glaze with patience, and firing in the same city that has produced ceramics for hundreds of years.
From Hebron’s narrow stone streets, this bowl began a long journey. Carried across checkpoints, borders, and shipping routes, it has travelled all the way to so-called Australia — each stage a reminder of the restrictions Palestinian artisans face in bringing their work to the world.
Owning this bowl is not only to hold a piece of Palestinian craft, but also to honour its journey: a fragment of Hebron’s living history that has survived and endured to reach your hands.
Details:
Material: Glazed ceramic
Origin: Hebron (Al-Khalil), West Bank, Palestine
Hand-painted with traditional kuffiyeh motif
Each piece includes a Certificate of Authenticity
