  • In memory of a wonderful volunteer

    The idea for this pie dish was inspired by a volunteer in the Red Bank, NJ store named Sue. Sue passed away a year ago, but her dedication to Ten Thousand Villages and the artisans' skillful crafts lives on in this beautiful pie plate. For me, this piece serves as a constant reminder of the real connection we have with each other. Sue never got to meet the women who make this pie dish, but she has left an impact on their lives.

    So when you purchase this pie dish (which is perfectly functional as well as beautiful!), you are giving a very special gift.

Kitchen Window Pie DishPRINT THIS PAGE

SKU: 6913150

SKU# 6913150

In kitchen window or on table, your pie and pie plate will both look delightfully tempting. Lombok potters make this uniquely beautiful pie dish with fluted edge and etched designs.

Hand-formed by women potters of Lombok, Indonesia, this dish is low fired over a wood fire and packed in straw. Because of this, the pottery is fragile, but with careful handling will last for years. Before firing, Lombok pottery is burnished with a mixture of fine clay, water and oil, then rubbed with a smooth stone or hard object. This compacts and strengthens the pot’s surface, and creates a sheen that enhances the colors and marks created by firing. Patterning on the piece is etched by hand.
