{"product_id":"handmade-ceramic-mug-nisf-jubeil","title":"Handmade Ceramic Mug — Nisf Jubeil","description":"\u003cp\u003eShaped and painted by women artisans in Nisf Jubeil — a hidden village northwest of Nablus, tucked halfway up a hillside where the stone houses dissolve into the mountains. In Greek, the village's name once meant \"half of the sun,\" because the mountains delay both sunrise and sunset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2015, a ceramics workshop opened here, the first of its kind in the northern West Bank. The first women trained, then they trained the women who came after them — the knowledge moving hand to hand, not from a manual, not from a factory. Today four women work in this workshop: a widow, a divorcée, a single woman, a married mother. For all of them, it is their main source of income.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece begins in Hebron, fired into bisque — raw, undecorated clay. It arrives at the Nisf Jubeil workshop pale and unfinished. The women paint it by hand, apply a layer of glaze, and the mug goes into the kiln for eight hours. The next day, they come back and lift it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"We preserve our heritage and our name through art. The people who receive our work outside Palestine — please share our story. Your voice matters. And right now, it is making a difference.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Palbox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48717978960029,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0482\/6506\/8701\/files\/Ceramic_Mug_afb97f90-cda3-4e6e-a984-4f948bc6296c.png?v=1785342535","url":"https:\/\/www.palbox.org\/products\/handmade-ceramic-mug-nisf-jubeil","provider":"Palbox","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
