Hanging Ferns Bowl is a Wheel-thrown with trimmed foot ring bowls in Cream gloss with hand-painted green and black botanicals glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹1,500. Made to order.
The forest after rain — ferns unfurling, damp air, that particular green that only exists in the hills. This bowl was made for the moment you fill it with something simple and the painting does the rest of the talking.
Wheel-thrown on a speckled stoneware body, the walls curve gently inward to a smooth trimmed foot. The interior carries brushwork in two greens — a bright leaf-green and a deeper near-black — depicting hanging fern fronds, pine sprigs, and loose botanical sprays. Scattered dark dots punctuate the cream gloss ground. Fired to around cone 6, the glaze sits glassy and even, letting the iron specks in the clay read through as quiet texture.

“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.
