Signature Collections: Gul & Kolam Ceramics
Where pottery meets poetry. My Gul and Kolam collections are born from the quiet rituals of floral artistry and the rhythmic, intricate traditions of my roots.
Announcing the 'Gul' collection, a showcase of ethereal, hand-painted ceramics. Each piece is a fusion of my love for pottery and floral artistry, designed to bring tranquility and elegance to your home.

About Signature Collections: Gul & Kolam
These are not just display pieces; they are functional companions for your home. Whether it is the fluid, hand-painted floral strokes of the Gul collection or the precise, geometric line work of the Kolam series, each item is thrown on the wheel and fired at high temperatures. They are built for daily life—microwave and dishwasher safe—so you can enjoy using them for your morning tea or dinner gatherings without worry.
The Gul and Kolam collections are two of my most personal projects at A Ware Studio. They represent the two halves of my creative heart—the free-flowing joy of nature and the disciplined beauty of tradition.
The Gul Collection
This collection is a tribute to the simplicity of flowers. I wanted to capture that fleeting moment of joy you get from seeing a bloom, but fix it permanently in clay. Each piece is individually hand-painted, so the floral motifs dance differently on every cup, plate, and vase. We use high-fire stoneware to ensure durability, making these pieces perfect for everyday table settings that need a touch of softness.
The Kolam Collection
This work is deeply rooted in my childhood memories. Kolam patterns, traditionally drawn with rice flour at the doorstep, are about rhythm and continuity. In this collection, I have translated those ephemeral lines into permanent ceramic engravings. These pieces carry a grounded, earthen weight and are finished with glazes that complement the intricate carvings, making them ideal for someone who appreciates clean lines and cultural heritage.
Everything you see here is made by hand in our Indiranagar studio in Bengaluru. Because we use small-batch firing processes, no two pieces are identical. When you choose a piece from these collections, you are bringing home a small piece of our studio's story.
