## About Handcrafted Tableware & Vases

When you bring one of my pieces home, you might notice subtle fingerprint marks or an uneven rim on a bowl. That is not a factory flaw, it is the signature of my hand-building process. Because I use high-fired stoneware, these pieces are durable enough for daily meals and dishwasher cycles, but they ask for a little more presence than store-bought, mass-produced ceramics.

My pottery journey in Bengaluru is rooted in the philosophy that the objects we touch every day should have a soul. Whether it is a deep ramen bowl for your one-pot meals or a sculptural vase, every item is crafted to break the monotony of machine-made housewares.

### The Craft Behind the Clay
I work primarily with high-fired stoneware, chosen for its strength and heat retention, alongside local terracotta. My glazes are food-safe and range from the high-gloss finishes seen on my signature vases to the matte, raw textures of unglazed pieces. Every firing cycle is a lengthy, 18-hour process that transforms raw, wet clay into functional art. 

### Embracing Wabi-Sabi
You will see 'wabi-sabi' influences throughout my collection. A rim might not be perfectly circular, or a glaze might pool differently on a serving platter. These are intentional choices. When you choose a hand-built plate or a marbled clay tumbler, you are choosing a piece with a distinct personality that tells the story of its time in my kiln.

### Care & Longevity
While these are functional pieces, they are not fragile. Most stoneware is microwave and dishwasher safe, though I always suggest hand-washing to preserve the glaze's longevity. If you pick up one of my gold-luster pieces, please treat it with extra gentleness—those specific decorative finishes are not microwave-friendly and require careful hand-washing.
