Handcrafted using natural olive wood, each piece in our collection of olive wood kitchen and tabletop pieces, including this olive wood egg cup, is hard, durable and non porous. Each egg cup is unique because of both its hand crafted character and the striking knots and grain found in the olive wood. Each piece is kiln dried for durability and becomes darker and richer in colour as it ages. Our olive wood designs are crafted in small batches, as our artisans in Tunisia carve each piece from only pruned Olive tree branches or dead trunks. This ensures that no fruit bearing trees are damaged and that this otherwise unused timber in brought to life with a second use in these pieces.
