Rain-Speckle Chawan Bowl
Rain-Speckle Chawan Bowl is a Wide low bowl with pinched undulating rim bowls in Cream base with blue and brown spatter glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹750. One of one.
Monsoon rain on a tin roof sounds like this bowl looks — scattered, insistent, arriving all at once. It was made for the unhurried things: a morning handful of walnuts, a wedge of jaggery, the small ceremonies that don't need an occasion.
The walls are wide and low, the rim left to wander slightly — pinched or gently altered after throwing, giving it that living, uneven silhouette. Onto a warm cream stoneware base, cobalt and iron-brown spatter was flicked freely, pooling in denser clusters toward the rim where a tenmoku-like dark gloss breaks through. The interior shows the same spatter bloom against the bare clay. Fired around 1220°C (cone 6), the foot sits unglazed, grounding the whole quiet surface.

“That unplanned swirl, that crooked handle — they are the story of the hour spent making it.”
Handmade by Madhumita Chatterjee at her studio in Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh — wheel-thrown, glazed, and fired in small batches beneath the Dhauladhars. The photographs show the exact piece you’ll receive.
