Ankole Round Salad Servers Amber
Soft curves and neat sizing makes these sustainably and ethically sourced Ankole Cow horn salad servers the perfect fit for stand out entertaining.
Shades of black and white meld together with warmer shades of brown to create a uniquely individual product.
Made from the horn of Ankole cows which are bred for consumption in Uganda. Although the horns are considered a waste product, horn can be a high end, natural material.
These natural horn salad servers were hand carved on a lathe, and then shaped and moulded at high temperatures to fit perfectly in your hand. They were meticulously sanded and then polished for a smooth and shiny finish.
Each salad server is individually hand-crafted by an artisan in a fair trade environment and would make the perfect gift for the discerning whisky drinker. Imperfections should be expected and simply add to the charm of your handmade good.
