I've been gone for over three weeks now, having taken my annual holiday to visit my kids in New York City. It's pretty much the only traveling that I do and I'm always sort of stuck trying to find a reasonable present for them. New York apartments are notoriously tiny, so I have to come up with something useful, enjoyable and small. This year I found some Palestinian pottery at the Bedouin Market in Maadi. The owner imports Palestinian pottery from Hebron in the West Bank and I decided to combine my political inclinations with gift buying so they got some lovely tile hotplates and a bowl.
Wow - what a fantastic gift one of those would make!
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent and no doubt will be very welcome.

Quite gorgeous. I got something similar when I was in Israel a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI love blue glass and I love your blue tiles. Very artistic plating on top, I really like the art you put in it. Cheers!
