Glazes

Choose by glaze

Every piece is fired in one of four glazes. Pick one to dip the pot on the wheel and see everything we have in it.

The kiln shelf

Out of this firing

Twelve pieces from the latest kiln. Each one is thrown by hand, so sizes and glazes vary a little — that is the point.

Ash Rice Bowl
01

Ash Rice Bowl

₹1,450

AshStoneware · 14 cm · 450 ml

A deep everyday bowl in our wood-ash glaze, pale where it runs thin and grey where it pools. Thrown, trimmed and fired at 1,280 °C.

Terra Serving Bowl

ShinoStoneware · 26 cm

A wide, low bowl for the middle of the table. A warm shino that breaks orange over the throwing lines, with a hand-painted leaf inside.

Tenmoku Noodle Bowl

IronStoneware · 18 cm · 800 ml

Iron-rich tenmoku, black in the well and rust at the rim. Tall enough for broth, steady enough for a spoon.

Leaf Footed Bowl

CeladonPorcelain · 16 cm

A footed fruit bowl, brushed with leaves under a clear celadon. Lifted off the table so it catches the light.

Morning Mug
05

₹3,600

ShinoRing form · 22 cm

A ring thrown in two halves and joined while soft. One stem, or nothing at all.

A narrow neck for a single stem, in a celadon that deepens to sea blue where it pools at the shoulder.

Oxblood Bud Vase

IronStoneware · 19 cm

Dinner Plate
10

Dinner Plate

₹1,650

AshStoneware · 27 cm

A flat, generous plate with a raw clay rim, so the glaze stops where your knife never goes.

River Plate
11

River Plate

₹2,100

ShinoStoneware · 24 cm

Glaze poured in one movement across the plate, so a brown river runs through the white.

Stoneware Teapot

IronStoneware · 900 ml

A teapot with a spout that pours clean and a lid that stays put. Thrown in four parts and assembled by hand.

Clay
From the wheel

One pot, five days

Scroll, and watch a lump of clay become the vase on the shelf.

  1. 01

    Wedge

    The clay is kneaded until there is no air left in it, then slapped onto the centre of the wheel.

  2. 02

    Throw

    Wet hands centre it, open it and pull the walls up in three or four slow passes.

  3. 03

    Trim

    A day later, leather-hard, it goes back on the wheel upside down and the foot is carved out.

  4. 04

    Glaze

    After a first firing it is dipped once, by hand, so the glaze runs thin on the edges and pools in the hollows.

  5. 05

    Fire

    Thirty hours in the kiln to 1,280 °C, a day to cool, and the door opens on something we never quite predicted.
