Handwoven Telephone Wire Bowl with Lid

Featuring vibrant swirls of contrasting colours, this handwoven telephone wire bowl with lid blends traditional Zulu craftsmanship with modern materials. Unlike the open bowls, this piece has a distinctive upright shape with a neatly fitted lid — making it as functional as it is eye-catching. Also known as Scooby wire bowls in South Africa, these striking pieces are woven using time-honoured techniques.

Perfect for storing small trinkets, jewellery or keepsakes, or fill it with homemade sweets or chocolates to create a beautiful, personal gift — the lid keeps everything neatly tucked away until the moment of giving.

Each bowl is individually handmade by skilled artisans in South Africa. Each artisan has the creative freedom to combine colours and patterns in their own way: Black & White brings together black and white, Blue features shades of blue, Orange leans towards warm, autumnal tones, and Multi-colour is a surprise mix of colours. The exact colours and patterns vary from bowl to bowl, making each one truly one of a kind — a meaningful gift that directly supports Zulu craftspeople.
