Stories told in clay. My artistic collection features hand-built textures, sgraffito illustrations, and whimsical figurines that bring a human touch to your living space.

Titled 'Fleeting Oasis', this large sgraffito wall plate features abstract, feather-like forms. It’s a piece of ceramic art that plays with pattern and earthy tones, designed to be a contemplative focal point in any room.

The finished leaf platter, styled on a simple table runner. The deep, flowing glazes catch the light, highlighting the intricate veins of the leaf and turning a natural object into a lasting piece of ceramic home decor.

This is the leaf platter in its 'greenware' stage, before it was fired. You can clearly see the delicate impression of the real leaf I used to create the texture, capturing its natural beauty in raw clay.

'The Boar with Balloons' is a whimsical, hand-painted plate that tells a little story. I enjoy creating these narrative pieces that blend folk art style with a touch of modern humor.

A hand-built stoneware plate featuring a sgraffito crow. I am drawn to the character and intelligence of crows, and they often appear in my work as symbols of the urban wildlife of Mumbai.

'Not Yet a Murder' is a small, hand-formed bowl depicting a common Mumbai scene: two crows on a tangle of wires. It’s a piece of urban-inspired pottery that finds beauty in the everyday chaos.

Another take on my crow-on-a-wire theme, this hand-built stoneware plate captures a quiet moment amidst the city's hum. These pieces are my tribute to the resilient nature that thrives everywhere.

About Artistic & Thematic Pieces

When you pick up one of these pieces, you are holding a story carved directly into clay. I use the sgraffito technique to scratch through layers of glaze, revealing intricate details like urban crows or organic floral patterns. These are high-fired stoneware pieces, which means while they function as unique decor, they are also durable enough for daily use in your kitchen or home.
