Bamboo Lacquerware bowls by Bambu: Modern design meets the ecologically and economically conscious with this collection of contemporary bowls. Bamboo, a centuries old material responsible for the re-greening and protection of forests due to its rapid growth cycle as well as enabling the earth with non-timber and non-petroleum resource options, provides yet another use -- beautiful tabletop design. Each piece, which cleans easily with warm soapy water, is hand coiled, shaped and finished with food-safe natural lacquer creating a beautiful, durable waterproof finish accented in modern colors.
