Pine Sprig Bowl is a Wheel-thrown, shallow open form with low foot ring bowls in Off-white matte ground with dark underglaze botanical motif; speckled glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹900. Made to order.
Walking the path above the studio, the deodar branches hang low and drip after rain. A few of those sprigs, pressed lightly to mind, became the motif inside this bowl. It is made for the small rituals — a handful of dried fruit, a ring resting overnight, a quiet corner of a table.
Wheel-thrown with a shallow, wide-open form and a neat low foot ring, the clay body shows fine dark speckling through the off-white glaze. Delicate dark green botanical sprigs are painted in underglaze along the inner rim — loose, hand-drawn, reaching down. The semi-matte white ground is lightly speckled and warm, fired to around cone 6 stoneware temperature.

“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.
