Round trivet hand-carved from mango wood by fairtrade artisans in India, its surface etched with a flowing lotus vine and finished in antique whitewash. The lotus is a long-standing symbol of growth and renewal. Set it under a warm teapot at the table, or use it as a base for a pillar candle on an altar or shelf.

Details

Design: Round trivet with a deeply etched lotus vine motif of open blossoms and curling leaves, whitewash settling into the carving so the wood grain shows through
Size: About 8 x 8 inches
Material: Sustainable mango wood with an antique whitewash finish
Care: Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from prolonged moisture or direct heat contact to preserve the wood and finish
Note: Because each trivet is carved and washed by hand, slight variations in grain, tone, and carving lines are natural and make every piece one of a kind
Origin: Fairtrade, handmade in India

Meaning & Intention

The lotus is one of the most enduring symbols in Eastern spiritual traditions. It roots in mud and murky water, yet opens each morning into a clean bloom untouched by what lies below.

Carved here as a spreading vine of blossoms and curling leaves, the design points to growth that arrives in layers, bloom by bloom, rather than all at once. In Buddhist and Hindu thought, each stage of the flower mirrors a stage of awakening.

Set into an everyday object, the symbol becomes lived rather than displayed — present each time a warm dish is set down.

The hand-carving holds meaning too. Traditional tools leave the slight irregularities of a human hand, a nod to the idea that imperfection and grace can coexist.

Questions & Guidance

Can I use it as a candle holder?

Yes. Many people set a pillar or jar candle on it as a decorative base on a shelf or altar. Avoid open flame in direct, prolonged contact with the wood surface.

Is it safe under hot pots and pans?

Yes, it is made for warm cookware and serving dishes at the table. Avoid leaving very hot items on it for extended periods to protect the whitewash finish.
