From clay to your door.

How an order runs from first message to reorder, and how each piece is made along the way.

In short

Orders follow seven steps: brief, quote, sample approval, production, quality check, dispatch and reorder. Each piece is formed, dried, bisque fired, glazed, fired again and checked against your approved reference.

How an order runs

The same seven steps for 50 pieces or 5,000.

  1. Share your brief

    Add products to your quote list or send a Studio design, with quantity, city and target date.

  2. Get your quote

    Pricing, minimums, lead time and sampling options, usually within one business day.

  3. Approve a sample

    Glaze tiles, a decorated piece or a prototype. Nothing is made at volume before you approve it.

  4. Production

    Pieces are formed, fired, glazed and decorated to the approved spec.

  5. Quality check

    Every batch is checked against your retained reference sample.

  6. Pack and dispatch

    Bulk cartons, retail boxes or gift packs, shipped to one address or many.

  7. Reorder anytime

    Your spec and reference sample stay on file, so top-ups match the original.

How a piece is made

Scroll to follow one mug through nine stages.

Stage 1 of 9Clay is prepared
Raw material

Clay is prepared

Clay is wedged to remove air and make it even, so every piece starts from a consistent body.

Forming

The form is thrown

The clay is centred on the wheel and pulled up into a cylinder, then shaped. Moulded shapes are pressed or cast to the same specification.

Refining

Trimmed and dried

At leather-hard, the foot is trimmed and handles attached. Pieces then dry slowly to prevent warping and cracks.

First firing

Bisque firing

A first firing turns fragile dried clay into hard, porous ceramic that can take glaze.

Glaze firing

Glazed and fired again

Glaze is applied by dipping or spraying, the foot is wiped clean, and a second, hotter firing fuses glass to clay.

Quality

Checked against your reference

Each piece is compared with your approved reference for colour, dimensions, rim and foot finish, and glaze defects.

Packing

Packed for the journey

Pieces are wrapped and packed in divided cartons, retail boxes or gift packs, labelled by SKU and glaze.

Delivery

Dispatched

Cartons ship across India by courier or freight, to one address or to every recipient on your list.

The cup reaches the counter, the plate reaches the pass, the gift reaches the desk. Reorders match because the spec is on file.
