Handcrafted in Bethlehem from locally sourced olive wood — drawn from trees that have grown in the region for generations — each spoon embodies the deep-rooted traditions of Palestinian craftsmanship. The distinctive grain patterns and warm honeyed tones make every piece entirely unique, a reflection of the resilience and beauty of the olive tree itself.
Bethlehem’s artisans have long worked with olive wood, transforming this sacred material into objects of daily use and quiet beauty. Each spoon is carved slowly by hand, shaped with care, and polished until naturally smooth to the touch. Durable, timeless, and made to last, these spoons are perfect for cooking, serving, or display — carrying with them the scent and memory of Palestine’s ancient groves.
The olive tree, a symbol of peace and endurance across generations, gives each piece a story that begins in the hills of Bethlehem and continues in your home. Every spoon arrives with a Certificate of Authenticity, affirming its handmade origin and the long journey it undertook to reach Australia.
Care Instructions:
The artist recommends rubbing your spoon with olive oil before the first use, and clean by hand rather than a dishwasher.
Details:
Material: 100% olive wood
