Handmade Tableware & Stoneware for Your Home
Bring the warmth of nature to your dining table with our functional, wheel-thrown stoneware. Every mug, bowl, and platter is crafted to make your daily meals feel a little more special.
These stoneware pasta bowls are one of my most requested items. They have a wide rim that is perfect for catching sauce, and the speckled gray glaze is understated and elegant.

From a plain white bisque-fired piece to a stunning, iridescent serving bowl. This video shows the glazing process for my wheel-thrown chips and dip bowl.

These beautiful floral plates were made using the Nerikomi technique, where patterns are created by layering and slicing colored clay.
This bubble fish plate was so much fun to make. The background texture was created by blowing glaze bubbles onto the surface.

About this collection
Because I use high-fire stoneware clay, these pieces are not just for display. They are fully food-safe, microwave-safe, and dishwasher-safe, meaning you can actually use that beautiful, hand-carved pasta bowl every single day without worrying about wear and tear.
Every piece begins as a lump of clay and is slowly transformed on my wheel or through hand-building. I focus on bringing organic shapes and nature-inspired textures into your kitchen. Whether it is the wide rim of a pasta bowl designed to catch sauce, or the ergonomic grip of a tumbler, the goal is utility meeting beauty. I often use Sgraffito carving to add intricate leaf and animal motifs, giving each piece a story.
Because I double-fire everything at 1220 degrees Celsius, my stoneware reaches full vitrification. This makes it tough enough for your dishwasher and microwave, so you do not have to save it for special occasions. If you are looking for something unique, like a custom chips and dip platter or a specific glaze for your dining room, feel free to reach out. I keep a limited stock at my Uttarahalli studio, but I am always happy to discuss a custom project.

Hi, I am the face behind Ihalo Studio. For me, pottery is a quiet, meditative escape where I transform lumps of clay into functional pieces inspired by the nature I see right outside my window. I love knowing that my work gets to be a small part of your breakfast, dinner, or tea time.
