Made to order.

Time in the mountains moves differently. An hour can stretch across a whole valley of cloud. This clock was made for someone who wanted their wall to hold a little of that playfulness — where the numbers wobble and the hours are marked by small clay surprises instead of ticks.

Slab-built as an irregular disc with a raised pink rim, the face is painted teal and carries hand-rolled coil numerals in pink, yellow, and lavender — each one its own small sculpture. Miniature clay motifs fill the spaces between: a tiny envelope, a lock, two small boots. The whole surface is painted with underglaze and fired, with a clock mechanism fitted after.

“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.
