Storm Sweep Mug is a Wheel-thrown straight-sided mug with a pulled handle and unglazed foot mugs in Cream stoneware with blue and brown brushwork, deep indigo glazed interior glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹1,300. Made to order.
The Dhauladhar goes dark before the rain arrives — one long sweep of blue and brown across a pale sky, and then nothing for an hour. This mug holds that hour. Fill it, sit down, wait for the weather.
Wheel-thrown in cream stoneware, straight-sided, with a handle pulled and set by hand. The outside carries a single loaded brush pass, cobalt and iron laid on wet and breaking brown where the stroke thinned. Inside, a deep indigo pools to the rim. The foot is left unglazed so the clay shows through, and the throwing ridges are still there under the thumb. Stoneware fired to around 1220°C.

“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.
