These adorable black hippo dishes are hand-carved from soapstone, also known as Kisii stone, as it is hand-quarried and carved in the Kisii region of Kenya, and then painted with eco-friendly non-toxic paint, and polished to a shine. Great as a unique gift for any hippo lover, or as a gift to yourself!
The black hippopotamus dishes are 7" from nose to tail, and the bowl is approximately 4.25" diameter. They are about 2" high. Sizes/dimensions are approximate, as each piece is handmade.
Hippo dishes are also available in a variety of colors.
