Known to locals as Il Bel Paese (the beautiful country), Italy has a long, rich history of wood carving dating back to the 17th century. This versatile set of 4 wooden serving bowls was handmade by artists in Umbria who proudly keep the tradition alive and well on the peninsula today. Handcrafted from olive wood to showcase dramatic variations in tone and pattern—no two are alike. Each bowl measures 4.5"L x 3"W x 1"H. Named after appertivo >, the fundamental aspect of Italian culture where friends, colleagues, and family gather for snacks and drinks between work and dinner (we call it happy hour). Made in Umbria, Italy.
