6 Lady Bambanani Bowl
AUD$290.00
Handcrafted ceramic 6 Lady Bambanani Bowl in White on White.
This design is one of the most popular colours as it goes with any home decor. These bowls make the perfect gift, as you can’t go wrong with a neutral color.
Hand thrown unique pottery bowls, lovingly embellished and hand painted by creative South African women artisans. Each piece is glazed and then kiln fired resulting in a beautiful finish. Bowls are multi-functional and can be used as a bold display piece, a fruit bowl or even to serve up a summer salad. An excellent house warming or wedding gift!
Each bowl represents strength and unity and features a group of six (6) ladies all in white dresses that circle the bowl and hold hands, all of them donning a traditional African headscarf that is symbolic of Xhosa women. Look closely and you will see a tiny infant on the woman’s back, which is how African babies are traditionally carried.

Zizamele – meaning “to develop” in isiXhosa, one of South Africa’s 11 official languages.
Zizamele Ceramics is about making art that makes a difference. Not only to the buyer but to the lives of the sellers and the artists too. Zizamele Ceramics is a small business with a training wing based in Cape Town, South Africa, that trains previously unemployed artists in ceramic creation, life skills and business management.
While South Africa has no shortage of extremely talented artists, the challenge lies in finding ways for them to use these raw skills to create a better life and a sustainable income. This is where Zizamele comes in. Zizamele artists create highly sought after and collectable ceramic pieces that can now be found in homes, offices and galleries around the world. Buyers of Zizamele’s award winning pieces range from the Office of the Premier of the Western Cape to gift and curio shops around South Africa and even international stores.
Every one of Zizamele’s ceramics is a one-off. Each is truly unique and will never be repeated, which is why Zizamele’s work could arguably be classified more as fine art than craft.
