Description
Named for the Arabah Desert, this tea set re[presents the joy of seeing an oasis, lush with greenery and water in the midst of the dry, hot desert.
Taking time for a break in the day, a cup of tea or coffee can be a little like finding a hidden oasis, a moment for renewal.
Levona has, with her signature style of understated simplicity, created a tea set (it can also be used for coffee) that is reminiscent of the Israeli deserts. It is hand thrown from red Israel clay, while the inside of the pot and spout are glazed with subtle shades of green, just like a hidden oasis.
The lid of the teapot is also glazed with a soft green and embossed with hand-carved decorative elements.
The set is completed with 4 simple drinking cups, each of which has a complimentary, yet different design, all evoking the greenery of the palms and plants that one might find in an oasis.
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.
