Wildflower Wreath Plate is a Wheel-thrown shallow plate with gently undulating rim plates in Warm cream gloss with hand-painted dark leaf wreath, blue bell flowers, and amber vine details glaze, handmade at Mita Pottery Studio, Rakkar, Himachal Pradesh. ₹1,750. Made to order.
There is a road out of Rakkar where, come July, the verges fill with small blue flowers nobody has named. This plate was made for that moment — the wreath of dark leaves and tiny bells is a way of keeping that roadside bloom close, long after the monsoon moves on.
Thrown on the wheel and left with a softly irregular rim, the shallow form is glazed in a warm cream that fires to a gentle gloss around cone 6. Over that ground, leaf sprays and a continuous vine are brush-painted in deep underglaze black; small blue bell-flowers and warm amber tendrils wind between them, every stroke placed by hand so no two loops of the wreath fall the same way twice.

“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.
