Olive + Olive Branch Bowl 2
$85.00
-
DetailsClassic everything bowl, with olives and olive branches hand-painted in the center. Olive trees encompass every aspect of daily Palestinian life. For every Palestinian, the olive tree symbolizes permanence and resistance. It connects them back to their ancestors who worked daily on their land, taking care of it, just as a mother taking care of her children. And in the tiredness of the harvest season, they regain all their strength through the abundant amount of gathered olives. Olive fruit was a staple to the income of 80,000 Palestinian families. Almost half of the West Bank and Gaza Strip (48%) was planted with olive trees. 70% of food production in Palestine was accounted for by olive trees. Nearly 10,000 of these life-giving trees have intentionally been poisoned, burned and destroyed by Israeli Occupation Forces and Israeli settlers in just the last six months; thousands have been burning over decades. I made these two bowls with the thought of everlasting olives, to honor indigenous lives on indigenous land.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I go about ordering?
Subscribe to my site! I send a reminder email the day of an update! Every month I update the shop once or twice. These items become available for purchase at a specific date and time which is announced via Instagram and Etsy with ample time for folks to be ready. Most mugs tend to sell out within the hour. It is best to be on the website a few minutes prior to the update release time.
When do you have auctions?
Designs that are in high demand but limited will often be auctioned on Instagram. These auctions are not announced and happen randomly. I list the item with guidelines and timeframe on a post through Instagram. Buyer must have a PayPal account and Instagram account to participate.
Do you take reserves?
Rarely. Because of fairness. I only take reserves under special circumstances. You at least have to be a returning customer, and have left a review in the past when you did order. Each circumstance varies, and it is up to me to say yes or no.
Do you take commissions or customs?
Rarely. This year I’m accepting a *limited* number of custom requests during the first weeks of April and October. Folks can contact me via Etsy during these months with their idea or an image of a design I’ve already created, and if selected, pricing and listing discussions will begin via email.
Why are your prices high?
Because it takes weeks to complete a mug. Because I work mainly in high quality porcelain. Because my work is highly detailed. All hand-carved. Because I’m a one-woman show. Because I value and love myself. Because I’m worth it. If you think my prices are too high, my work is not for you.
