Wooden Chapati Dish / Round Hand Carved Bowl with Lid

Serve chapati the traditional way with this handmade wooden chapati dish. It is a wide, round bowl with a fitted lid, carved from solid wood and finished in a deep, flame-toned color. The grain swirls in rich shades of brown, amber, and honey, so every dish has its own pattern.

The lid is the star of the piece. Soft, rippled rings are carved into the top and spread out from a small round knob in the center, like ripples on water. The knob makes the lid easy to lift, and the lid sits snugly on the bowl to keep your chapati covered at the table.

The wide, shallow shape is made for stacking soft chapati, flatbread, rotis, tortillas, and bread. It also works as a storage bowl for keys, jewelry, keepsakes, and small items, or as a centerpiece on a dining table or coffee table. Each dish is hand-carved and finished by hand, so size, color, and carving details vary slightly from piece to piece.
