Rome was not built in a day, and neither were homes. It is those little personalised details in a house that makes it a home. This time, we’re indulging in a bit of pottery to rev up those little nooks and corners. From the craftsmanship of ancient Rome to modern-day Kashmir, we bring to you a catalogue of wisely chosen natural material vases to celebrate the diversity in human choices.

Why is the tiny stoneware clay vase whistling at you? Because you are beautiful, inside out, just like this unique vase from the Dysfunctional Collection. Bring home this provoking vase and you will never fall short of validation.

Use it to decorate dried grass or to laud it with your favourite cherry blossom stems, the terracotta tall vase accommodates it all, and with all its heart. The vase uses a raw, natural texture to enhance the decor even if it stands alone on your table!

An asymmetrical ring vase textured like the sand ripples on a shore after the wave recedes into the ocean, is an advocate of all things natural– from material to finish. Encouraging creativity in individuals, it has a hole in the middle, which only you can fill.

Bringing to you an indigenous bulbous vase of papier mache, handcrafted by the skilled artisans of Kashmir. A part of Ikai Asai’s Lila Collection, the vase radiates the gentle rhythm of life in Pondicherry and does not shy away from its rawness.

A lot of things are often reminiscent of childhood, but not very evidently. The PAC-MAN vase isn’t one of them. A base in cut-out terracotta, painted in a playful red, the vase is a combination of string graphic elements and organic fluidity in perfect harmony.

Lo and behold the stoneware vase as innocent as a child’s art. A drawing of hills under the starry night, hand painted on ivory clay body makes it a perfect gift for those who let their imagination wander. The calming play of simple lines and ink intensities becomes a catalyst for muse.

With the use of sea green in ombre and white earthen clay in the background, the girl in a tribal print skirt is happy with or without flowers in it. The doll is open-minded, literally!

Organic, raw and earthy, the collection is handcrafted out of earthenware. The real magic however, lies in its texture and finish that creates an impression of a timeworn antique. Of sizes and forms, the collection looks its best when kept huddled together. 

Irregular yet stable, that’s what we get from using a sheet of clay. The fired stoneware vase is perfect in its very own way and is the perfect portrayal of Wabi Sabi. Sculpted specially with a technique known as slab building, the vase needs the appreciation it deserves.
