These are scoops made from Nypa palm, which grows in the mangrove forests of Thailand.
This item comes in two sizes: S and L.
Not quite a basket, not quite a tray — this is a uniquely shaped container.
In local Thai communities, it was once used for watering flowers, scooping water from wells, or even as a kind of natural cup during breaks from farm work.
Nypa palm is thoroughly sun-dried after harvesting. It is typically dried for at least three days under clear, sunny skies.After drying, the stems and leaves are used selectively depending on what is being made.This scoop is made using the leaves, layered and shaped into form.The bundled leaves are secured at both ends with thin strips of Nypa palm to form a bowl-like shape.The left and right ends are then crossed at the center and tied in place with a different material called kok.The string forms a loop like this, making it easy to hang on a hook.The bowl-like leaf portion is dried and holds its fixed shape.The leaves used here have a smooth surface with a natural sheen.Let us introduce each size. This is the S size. *The photo was taken while hanging. This item does not stand on its own.You can hang it on a hook and use it to hold small items, or even as a watering scoop.Here, we placed a small cup inside the S-size scoop and arranged mountain hydrangeas in it.This is the L size. *Like the S size, it does not stand on its own.The L size is also great for hanging displays or as a shop fixture.In the L size, we placed clematis. Its hanging form pairs well with trailing flowers and foliage.
This scoop is made by layering several Nypa palm leaves without using any glue or adhesive. It takes advantage of the natural water-repellent surface of the leaves, allowing it to scoop water temporarily.
However, please avoid leaving water inside for extended periods, as this may lead to leakage or deterioration of the product.
You can also plant air plants or hardy indoor plants directly in it, as long as they don’t require frequent watering. When watering, please be aware that some water may seep through the gaps between the leaves.
While the material itself is resistant to water, we recommend hanging it in a well-ventilated indoor space to avoid humidity buildup.
Of course, simply enjoying its elegant form as a decorative piece is also a lovely option. We hope you enjoy the light and breezy presence of this Nypa palm scoop.
About Nypa Palm Craft in Southern Thailand
Along the western coast of the Malay Peninsula in southern Thailand, there are many soft, muddy wetlands. There are also numerous mangrove forests that have developed in the brackish zones where river water and seawater mix.
Nypa palm, a member of the palm family, grows along the landward edge of these mangrove zones. Compared to other freshwater palms, it is superior in strength and flexibility.
Nypa palm is fibrous, lightweight, and strong. Its breathability and weather resistance make it a useful natural material in vegetation-rich regions, where it is often used for roofing and walls.
The name “Nypa” comes from a Filipino word for this palm. In local regions, it is commonly used to weave roofs and walls by combining its leaves with bamboo frameworks.
In Thailand, Nypa palm can be harvested year-round, and is used to create baskets, trays, scoops, and more. The pieces introduced here are made in Trang Province, located on the western coast of the Malay Peninsula in southern Thailand.
