Beautiful - and Functional - Hand-painted Wood Bowls

From Florida to Washington comes the colorful artwork of Janis Childs.  Her hand-painted wood salad bowls and servers are absolutely gorgeous.  And best of all, they stand the test of time!

Lemons on blue background, 12" salad bowl and matching servers

Janis hand paints each bowl individually, without using a stencil or pattern.  Each is done from scratch, making each a unique work of art.

Using hard woods like beech or maple, they are also extremely durable.  Janis began painting her bowls in 1990.  She has customers who are still using bowls they purchased way back then!

Olive-themed 12" salad bowl and servers

Janis uses a finish that is a water-based urethane.  It is proposition 65 compliant, which makes them food safe.  Janis says, "I tell people to use them as they would any finished wooden bowl."

The bowls are available in a 12" diameter, as well as a 15" diameter.  The 12" is great for most purposes for daily life.  The 15" is best for larger families or party settings.

We currently have three 12" bowls in stock and one 15" bowl, so stop by to see the difference yourself.

This item is currently out of stock.  Just call and we'll order it for you!  Give us 3 weeks for the artist to paint it just for you.

Janis writes the care method on the bottom of each bowl, so it can never get lost.  Treat these bowls as you would any other wood bowl.  Hand wash and dry.  That's it!

For weddings, house warmings, gardeners, or anyone who likes to eat salad - these bowls are a beautiful, enduring gift they will cherish for years to come.

Though currently sold, this item can be ordered.
