Forged on fire, cooked in earth, tasting of folktales and stardust, the good old days imbibed into molded mud.

Deep in the lush hills of Meghalaya, black pottery is practiced solely by a community of gifted women, who channel ancient wisdom and the spirit of the forest into creating intricate vessels from clay. Breaking away from the usual practice of sitting at the wheel by potters, our craftswomen practice a unique method of standing over a form until it takes its desired shape. Further, shattering all artistic barriers, these craftswomen only use homegrown wheels and self-made wooden tools to shape every creation with their bare hands.

Made in:   Meghalaya
Material:  Earthenware

Clean your vessels immediately after you use them. Soak a soft sponge in tepid water, apply mild detergent and gently rub your vessel clean. Give your vessels enough time to dry, this helps to retain their natural finish. Be careful while using, since all tableware is susceptible to abrasion from repeated handling. Make sure to put a cushion of tissue/cloth between each product while stacking. These vessels are microwave safe, so you can heat conveniently yet eat traditionally. Note that vessels for liquids can only be used for water, black coffee or black tea.
