Storm & Snow Chawan is a Hand-built, faceted walls on a small foot ring bowls in Tenmoku black brushed over crackle white; glossy; heavy crazing on interior glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹2,250. Made to order.
The monsoon breaks fast up here — one moment white sky, the next a wall of black cloud over the ridge. This chawan holds that collision. It was made on a restless afternoon when the studio felt like the inside of a storm.
Hand-built with faceted, irregular walls that catch light at every angle, the exterior carries bold black brushwork over a white glaze — the two bleeding and pooling where they meet. Inside, the white glaze has crazed into a fine crackle network, mapping the thermal story of the firing. The glossy surface breaks over the uneven planes of the clay, making each side its own small landscape.

“That unplanned swirl, that crooked handle — they are the story of the hour spent making it.”
Handmade by Madhumita at her studio in Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh — wheel-thrown, glazed, and fired in small batches beneath the Dhauladhars. Yours is thrown to order by the same hands, so it won't be identical to the photographs — it will be this piece's sibling.
