Handcrafted Pottery and Ceramic Art Pieces
A look at my personal pottery collection. From wheel-thrown tumblers and hand-painted vases to textured planters, every piece is shaped with love in my Whitefield studio.
I made this pink ribbed tumbler with a new glaze I was trying out. I love how the color turned out, and it feels so nice to hold.
A beautiful lidded jar I made, glazed in two tones of pink and cream. These are perfect for storing little treasures.
This pink tumbler has a lovely textured pattern from pressing lace into the clay. I am always inspired by the calm and serene statues in my studio.
My little cute Ganesha sitting peacefully by the water feature in my studio. He always inspires me while I work.
These bird and owl mugs are fresh out of the kiln. I love how their personalities came out in the final glaze.
A close-up of a pink textured planter I made. The Buddha statue in the background brings a sense of peace to my workspace.
A pair of owl mugs, each with a unique hand-drawn design. They are ready to find a new home.
I made this sgraffito bowl in memory of my sweet pet rabbit, Sonu. It was an emotional process, pouring all my love for him into the clay.
These lidded jars with bird illustrations are some of my favorite pieces. I'm so happy with how the black glaze contrasts with the raw clay.
Another one of my textured pink tumblers. I love holding my creations and feeling the result of the entire pottery process.
About My Finished Pottery & Art
If you see a piece here that speaks to you, it might already be in a home or ready to find one. Since I create everything in small, slow batches, these designs aren't mass-produced. If you are looking for something specific for your home or a unique gift, message me and we can chat about what is currently available or if I can throw a fresh batch just for you.
The Story in the Clay
Pottery is my escape. It is messy, calming, and full of surprises. Every piece you see here, from the sgraffito bowls to the bird-themed mugs, represents a moment of focus in my Whitefield studio. I do not aim for industrial perfection. Instead, I embrace the wobbles, the unique glaze flows, and the hand-carved details that make each item a one-of-a-kind object.
My Process
My work often starts on the wheel, focusing on centering and pulling consistent walls, but I love the freedom of hand-building when I want to add organic texture. Once formed, pieces go through a two-stage firing process. The first bisque firing hardens the clay, and the second high-temperature glaze firing turns it into the durable, food-safe ceramic you see.
Custom and Functional Art
Whether it is a hand-painted koi fish vase or a textured tumbler, I make these to be used.
- Functional: Mugs, jars, and bowls designed for daily use.
- Artistic: Sculptures and planters that add character to your space.
- Customization: If you love a specific style but need a different size or quantity, I am happy to discuss custom orders.
Looking after your pottery is simple. While my glazes are durable, hand-washing preserves the finish longer than a dishwasher. Each piece holds a bit of the calm energy I feel while working at the wheel, and I hope they bring that same peace into your home.
Mud Effects Pottery Studio
I am Ritu, and for me, pottery is pure magic—a way to slow down and find connection in the mud. I spend my days in my Whitefield studio, getting my hands dirty and turning raw clay into pieces that hopefully bring you as much joy as they bring me.
