ABOUT THE COLOURWAY
Ocean Blue is a deep, rich blue glaze inspired by the coast around Tangier in northern Morocco, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean. Its saturated blue tones give the handmade stoneware a bold, aquatic character. Striking yet easy to incorporate into an interior, this colourway works beautifully with crisp white, natural stone, warm wood and handmade tiles, bringing a rich accent of colour to both contemporary and more eclectic homes.

HANDMADE IN NEPAL
These stoneware ceramics are handmade by artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal, within a collective certified by the World Fair Trade Organization. AURA QUE has worked with the group since 2019. Alongside preserving skilled ceramic craftsmanship, the collective supports its artisans through initiatives including allowances towards family medical care and children’s education, as well as a savings scheme. The organisation is also working to reduce the environmental impact of production and has moved from kerosene-based ceramic firing to electric kilns.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Our ceramics are hand-thrown on the potter's wheel using a mix of local Nepali clays, then air-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 and dishwasher 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 in electric kilns: The ceramics are fired at high temperatures in large electric kilns, carefully packed to maximise efficiency with every firing. The collective has moved away from kerosene-based firing to reduce their environmental impact. The high temperatures create strong, durable stoneware suitable for everyday use.
