From soil to shelf
Four hands touch your bartan before you do.
We source river clay, knead it for two days, throw it on the chaak, sun-dry it and fire it at 900°C. No lead glaze, no chemical polish — only mitti, water, fire and patience.
01
Clay selection
Silt-rich soil, filtered and rested.
02
Hand throwing
Shaped on the potter's wheel, never moulded in bulk.
03
Kiln firing
Slow-fired for strength and that sondhi aroma.
04
Safe delivery
Straw, bubble wrap and a double-walled carton.
Why clay, why now?
- Cooking in clay retains micro-nutrients that steel cookware burns away.
- Earthen pots naturally alkalise water and keep it cool without electricity.
- Every order directly supports a kumhar family, not a factory line.
- Clay is fully biodegradable — zero plastic in product or packaging.
