Designed to look like a shelled calabash, the Totumo bowl is an essential and beautifully crafted everyday bowl. Found in diverse regions of Colombia, including the dry tropical forest, are calabash trees called the Totumo. Native to the Amercias, totumos have large seeds traditionally crafted into spherical utensils like spoons and bowls.

These hand-painted ceramics are made from fired earthenware clay, locally and ethically sourced from the municipality of La Union, located in the department of Antioquia. Inspired by Zuahaza textiles, these hand-painted ceramics are a fusion of classic craftsmanship and contemporary design. To make this possible, Zuahaza collaborated with 2 esteemed workshops in the town of Carmen de Viboral, a beacon of traditional hand painting of intricate motifs on white ceramic. Each piece is a testament to the artistry of the community and their rich heritage.
