HANDMADE IN NEPAL
These stoneware ceramics are handmade near Bhaktapur, Nepal, by a family business run by two brothers, Santa and Laxmi. Production is organised through a collective in Kathmandu, certified by the World Fair Trade Organization. AURA QUE has worked with the group since 2018.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Our stoneware ceramics are hand-thrown on the potter's wheel using a mix of local Nepali clays, then sun-dried and finished with richly coloured glazes sourced from North India. Fired at high temperatures in carefully packed kilns to maximise efficiency, the finished stoneware is durable, chip-resistant, dishwasher and microwave safe. Subtle variations in shape, texture and glaze are a natural part of the handmade process, giving each piece its own individual character.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- Shaping the local clay: Each piece begins with a blend of locally-sourced clays. The stoneware is shaped at the potter's wheel by skilled ceramic artisans, with details and handles carefully added by hand.
- Drying naturally: Once shaped and detailed, the ceramics are left to dry naturally. The pieces need to dry thoroughly before they can move on to glazing and firing.
- Glazing each piece: The dried ceramics are carefully glazed to create their finished colour and surface texture. Because each piece is individually glazed by hand, subtle differences in colour, texture and finish occur naturally.
- Firing the stoneware: The ceramics are fired at high temperatures in large kilns, carefully packed to maximise efficiency with every firing. The high temperatures create strong, durable stoneware suitable for everyday use.
