I don't aim for factory-made perfection; I aim for pieces that feel alive. Expect each vase and planter to have its own unique quirks—*toh yeh toh hona hi tha!* (it’s bound to happen). When you pick up a piece from this collection, you aren't just getting a vessel for your plants or a holder for your candles; you're getting a snapshot of my studio time. ### The Process My vases and tea light holders start as a mental image of a memory—maybe a house on a cliff or a story from my nani’s garden—before hitting the potter's wheel. I love using sgraffito and hand-building techniques to add textures that you can actually feel. Whether it's the 'Houses on Cliff' series or my slightly spooky but friendly ghost tea light holders, the goal is to make something that makes you smile on a slow day. ### Care & Material These are stoneware pieces, fired for durability. However, because they are handmade, the sculpted elements (like ears on a trinket bowl or thin rims on a vase) are delicate. Please handle them with care. Since I use lead-free glazes, they are perfectly safe for home use, but I recommend hand-washing to keep the colors and details fresh. ### Custom Commissions If you have a specific vision in mind—perhaps a planter shaped like your pet or a vase that captures a particular color palette from your favorite travel destination—let's talk. I enjoy the challenge of turning your ideas into clay. Just reach out, and we can discuss if it's something I can shape for you. ## About Malvika I’m Malvika, and I put a bit of my overthinking, mountain-loving brain into every piece I make. Whether it’s a tiny vase for a single stem or a ghost tea light holder, these aren’t just decor—they’re little reminders of slow days and happy memories.
