There’s something special about the perfectly-imperfect nature of ceramics. The raw touch, the way the light comes through and that it’s made from the earth all make a ceramic base more than a container.

After decades of using impersonal industrial products, clay, artisans and local manufacturing is making a comeback in interior decor.

Our ceramics are handmade by an artist in northern Gujarat using wild clay that is as minimally processed as possible. This art form is thousands of years old and allows us to go back to a simpler time. A material that is sustainable and low-polluting, clay gives us the relaxed warmth we’re craving.

It has pretty specific lighting requirements. It likes filtered sun but not direct sunlight. It likes a good balance between the two. It will be happiest near a bright window in which the sunlight never fully shines in its direction. It may take a bit of moving around before you find a perfect home for it.

It likes its soil consistently moist – roughly twice a week. More in the hot, summer months and less in the monsoon and cooler seasons.

Once it's comfortable in its new home, it's easy to manage and pest-free.
