Custom Handmade Tableware & Cafe Pottery in Whitefield
I turn your ideas into clay, creating everything from unique dinner sets for your home to custom-branded mugs for your cafe. Let's make something beautiful together.
This was a large and exciting order for a matcha tea bar. I made everything from splash-glaze bowls to hand-pinched mugs and pourers.
A close-up of the hand-pinched mugs with green splash glaze. The cafe wanted an organic look, and I love how imperfectly perfect they turned out.
These are the pouring bowls, or 'katakuchi', for the matcha set. I used the same green splash glaze technique to create a cohesive collection.
Another view of the pouring bowls. The spout is shaped by hand, so each one pours just a little bit differently.
An overhead shot of the splash-glaze mugs. This view really shows the unique, spontaneous pattern inside each cup.
These are some of the plain white pouring bowls from the same cafe order, ready for their next stage.
A fun, hand-painted "Matcha" mug that was part of the custom cafe order. The bold, simple lettering has a playful feel.
A custom matcha tea set, including a pink chawan (tea bowl), a whisker stand, and a hand-painted mug. I love making these sets in colors chosen by the client.
A stack of colorful matcha bowls and a whisker stand. I can create these in a wide range of beautiful glazes to suit your taste.
A different combination for a matcha set, featuring a deep green bowl and a lemon-patterned mug. The possibilities are endless.
About Bespoke Tableware & Cafe Orders
Every piece I make is high-fired stoneware, which means it is built to last in busy cafes or for daily family use. Please keep in mind that custom orders usually take about 3 to 4 weeks to dry, glaze, and fire, so let's plan your timeline well in advance. Whether you want a specific splash-glaze pattern or a logo stamped onto your mugs, we will start by chatting about the look you want to create.
When you order tableware from me, you are getting more than just a dish or a cup. You are getting a piece that has been shaped by hand in my Whitefield studio. My process starts with a conversation about what you need, whether it is a set of matching bowls for your dining table or a series of durable, branded mugs for a new cafe space.
I love working with different textures and finishes. If you want something organic, I use hand-pinched techniques that give the clay a rustic, earthy feel. For a more modern look, I can use wheel-throwing to get that perfect, even shape, or we can experiment with splash glazes to add a bit of fun and personality. If you have a specific color palette in mind, I can help you choose the right glazes to match your interior or your brand identity.
Because everything is handmade, no two pieces are ever exactly the same. You might notice small quirks or tiny marks from the kiln, and to me, that is the beauty of it. It proves the piece was made by human hands, not a factory machine. Everything I create is lead-free and food-safe, so you can enjoy your morning matcha or your evening meal with total peace of mind. Whether you are looking for a complete dinner setting or just a few signature pieces, I would love to hear your ideas and turn them into something you can hold in your hands.
