Red Dot Botanical Trinket Dish is a shallow wheel-thrown dish with organic rim plates in warm cream gloss with red dot field and dark botanical stem centre glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹1,400. Made to order.
This dish began as a thought about pressed flowers and country notebooks — a single botanical stem standing straight at the centre, surrounded by a field of hand-dotted red. It is the kind of piece that ends up holding a ring, a safety pin, a small stone from the path outside.
Thrown on the wheel and allowed to settle into a gently uneven rim, the shallow form rests in a warm cream gloss glaze fired around 1220°C. The stem at the centre and the scattered red dots are painted underglaze by hand — each dot its own small gesture, no two at exactly the same distance.

“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.
