Those who travel in Tibet often express deep amazement at the impressive wooden bowls local people use.
In Tibet, everyone who leaves home for a trip carries a wooden bowl. Wooden bowls are special articles for daily use and are both durable and easy to take on journeys. Tibetans prefer them so much that they use them as dinner dishes and as a method for drinking the area's famous milk tea. It is no wonder that they even refer the wooden bowl as their lover in folk songs.
Wooden bowls are generally made from mulberry, birch or tung. Bowls are most often fashioned in a set. Each set contains three bowls: two big ones and one small.
