The 'Zaan' area, just north of Amsterdam is part of The Netherlands that is deeply steeped in tradition. Many of the small villages are filled with century-old houses, still in the old traditional style; wooden houses painted green with white window sills.

Prices are dependent on size and type of woods used. Most of the bowls are approx 10cm/4 inch high and 30 cm/12 inch in diameter. All profits will go the Prinses Maxima center for children oncology.
