About the Item
Handcrafted in Mexico from Natural Onyx
What makes Alabaja truly special is not only its sculptural presence, but the story it carries within its stone. Each bowl is entirely handcrafted by skilled artisans from Zacatecas, Mexico, using traditional tools like disc and chisel—a slow and deliberate process that brings out the natural soul of the stone.
The piece is carved from Mexican white onyx, a luminous mineral revered for its translucency and depth. Its soft, matte finish and porous texture evoke coral formations found along the Baja California coastline—an homage to the peninsula’s meeting of desert and sea.
With its mid-century inspired silhouette, this bowl bridges organic beauty and refined design. Every curve is shaped by hand, not molded, making each piece truly one of a kind. No two bowls are ever identical—each reflects the artisan’s hand and the unique characteristics of the stone.
More than just a decorative object, Alabaja is a celebration of Mexican craftsmanship, natural materiality, and timeless design. It stands as both a functional vessel and a sculptural centerpiece, equally at home in contemporary and coastal interiors.
