Description
Levona’s Maayan (spring) fruit bowl is inspired by the archaeological remnants of a previous Jewish settlement in Bat Ayin, Levona has created a hand-thrown fruit bowl that has dimensions ideal for holding fruits, but may also be used for serving table salads and more.
The bowl rises from a narrow base to an elegant open mouth. The richness of the Israeli red clay grounds the bowl, while it is glazed with a gorgeous green-blue reminiscent of the clear waters from the ancient mikvah (bathing spring) found on the Jewish settlement of Bat Ayin.
The top of the bowl is hand-decorated with small lily flowers and bright sky blue accents. This bowl is the perfect way to bring an Israeli atmosphere to your dinner table or kitchen counter!
As with all handmade artworks, each one varies slightly which is part of the charm. Each bowl is one-of-a-kind.

Levona
Levona is a gifted ceramic artist who established her ceramic business, Local Ceramics in the Jewish settlement of Bat Ayin in the beautiful Judea Hills about 40 minutes south of Jerusalem.
Bat Ayin is more than home for Levona, it is the inspiration behind her handmade ceramic works. Walks in the beautiful hills that surround her home and her ability to experience the natural beauty all around her, inspires Levona in all her creations.
Levona’s studio, which she shares with a friend, is located in a small forest that is also home to organic grape and olive vineyards and ancient archaeological sites dating to the First Temple period. As she sits at her ceramic wheel she is able to look out across a field of olive trees, lavender, and other Israeli wildflowers.
Levona’s attachment to and love for Israel is expressed through her art as she intentionally uses Israeli clay for her creations, just as it has been used by generations past. She takes inspiration from the lives of the Jewish people in the land of Israel and many of her pieces are informed by Israel’s history.
Levona uses glaze to create a feeling reminiscent of a desert and water which reminds her of her childhood home near Wadi Kelt, a lush stream in the Judean desert, and is evocative of the blue skies that she sees from her studio.
