Mountain Wind Tumbler
Mountain Wind Tumbler is a Straight-walled wheel-thrown tumbler, no handle mugs in Speckled cream with black brushwork glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹650. One of one.
There is a wind that comes down the Dhauladhar without warning — it moves through the pine canopy in one long, unbroken sweep. This tumbler carries that gesture. One bold brushstroke, undulating like a ridgeline, wraps the whole vessel and does not stop to explain itself.
Thrown on a lightly speckled stoneware body, the walls are straight and even with a gently rounded base — the kind of form that feels honest in the hand. The black iron-oxide brushwork was applied freely before a clear gloss glaze, the mark staying gestural and dry-edged where the brush lifted. Fired to approximately 1220°C (cone 6), the unglazed foot ring shows the warm grog of the clay beneath.

“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.
