Black Marble Platter Board
Black Marble Platter Board
Ethically sourced and sustainably hewn, this stunning platter made from natural black marble, is perfect for mindful portions and the conscious aesthetic.
Natural stone varies in size, colour, and appearance. Each piece is one-of-a-kind; size, shape, and colour may vary slightly. Due to the nature of handmade products, variations in exact texture and glaze can occur.
Artisans hand select the marble for it's beauty of colour and grain, then cut and turn it by hand. Hence we see each piece being as unique as the customer interested in it. As such we will always send photographs of a selection of the product to customers either prior to or after an order has been placed for customer selection. We want you to love the raw natural beauty of these pieces as much as we do!

Impact
This co-operative was founded by the late Mansoor Ali, who pioneered fair trade practices in Pakistan’s stone industry while hiring artisans regardless of religion or ethnicity. The co-operative, then and now, works with underprivileged artisans to continue their traditional craft in stone and sheesham wood products.
It disperses orders to independently owned and operated onyx workshops that own their own equipment and rent or own their facilities. Most are family businesses employing several family members. Fair wages as well as additional benefits of profit-sharing, pension plans and medical benefits are provided to the artisans.
