Product Description
Handwoven by skilled artisans in Vietnam, this smoked bamboo colander bowl is a versatile, larger-size basket perfect for handling bigger vegetables, substantial harvests, or generous portions of produce. Its generous dimensions make it ideal for collecting and transporting large quantities from the garden, washing bulky items, sun-drying vegetables efficiently, or serving as an impressive large fruit basket on your table.
The unique smoked bamboo undergoes a traditional preservation process: after careful selection and initial soaking, the bamboo is exposed to prolonged smoking in earthen kilns using natural materials like straw and sawdust. This eco-friendly technique, passed down through generations, dries the material thoroughly while infusing it with protective compounds from the smoke.
The smoking process significantly enhances durability and makes the bamboo lighter yet stronger, It provides natural resistance to mould, fungi, insects, and termites by reducing starch content and adding protective elements—without relying on harsh chemicals and it imparts a beautiful, rich dark brown or glossy tone that develops naturally, giving the basket its distinctive, warm aesthetic that ages gracefully.
