I received complimentary product to facilitate this review. All opinions are my own.
NOVICA is one of the leading fair trade artisan websites. They work with National Geographic to give talented artisans around the world a place to express their artistic talents and provide access to the world market.
I’ve ordered from NOVICA in the past. One item, that I reviewed here on the blog, was a beautiful Sacred Golden Lotus necklace which I still have, even though my daughter keeps trying to keep it for herself. This time around I ordered a gorgeous Mexican Talavera Floral Ceramic Oval Serving Bowl ‘Wilderness’ to review.
Wilderness: Unique like a kaleidoscope, this Talavera design is by Pedro Alba in Mexico. A colorful flower takes the center, its petals reaching toward the scalloped border of this bowl.
Isn’t that just beautiful?! The artist, Pedro Alba, who created this lovely piece, also has other pieces available that match this design. And one thing I love about NOVICA’s website is how accurate the pictures are. They are very true to how the items look in person.
With so many amazing pieces it was difficult trying to decide which one I wanted to order. For now, I decided on the Mexican Talavera Floral Ceramic Oval Serving Bowl because I thought it would make for a beautiful fruit bowl. Plus, that way I can just keep it sitting out on the counter where I can see it everyday!
NOVICA offers everything from clothing, tableware, spiritual gifts, jewelry and more! I couldn’t believe just how many items there are on this site. According to the website, you can search over 40,000 handmade treasures!

I’d buy either jewelry, or new decor for my living room.
I might use this on that exact Talavera bowl! I love it! If not that one, then probably another piece of tableware. (Or jewelry. Or a purse. I love Novica lol)
I would probably pick out some new jewelry for the upcoming warmer months.
I would probably use it for tableware.
I like the bowl! I would get something for my kitchen.
The Jawadwipa legacy three cotton bags would be great as gifts
I would use it toward jewelry — they have a terrific selection of bracelets that I would love to order.
I actually have a collection of this and this bowl would be a beautiful addition!

Handmade Jewelry Haven recently posted..BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!! HANDMADE JEWELRY HAVEN ETSY SHOP GRAND OPENING!!
There are games that I like at Novica that are all handcrafted. I would like to get one of those.
Oh my, their choices are so plentiful and just lovely at Novica.com I love anything turquoise color, so I searched that word on their website and it brought up 1400 items in ever category to choose from. The artist works are just breathtaking and one can truly appreciate the time that each artist put into their craftsmanship of what they specialize in. I saw many more of the artist Pedro’s works that were within the turquoise word search. I’d enjoy their choices of jewelry or more choices like what this artist Pedro makes at Novica. Thank you for introducing them to me today. I loved viewing the choices and didn’t want to leave.
I like the unique house ware items!
I would actually get the bowl.
I think I would use my $35.00 gift code on home decor. I think I need a new decoration to freshen up my living room for the new year.
