Midnight Tide Mug
Midnight Tide Mug is a Wheel-thrown with pulled handle mugs in Deep cobalt-to-teal dipped glaze with speckled unglazed foot glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹650. One of one.
Some mornings the Kangra valley fills with a blue that has no name — not sky, not water, something in between. This mug was made for that hour. The kind of quiet you want to hold in both hands.
Wheel-thrown on an iron-flecked stoneware body, the walls show gentle throwing ridges beneath a high-gloss glaze that shifts from deep cobalt at the belly to a dark forest green at the rim. A clean dip line leaves the lower foot bare, its speckled natural clay a grounding contrast. Fired to around cone 6, the glaze has pooled and broken in small amber flashes where it thickened. The pulled handle sits comfortably off the side.

“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.
