Colourful ceramic vases with floral patterns
Jaipur · 214 artisan families · no middlemen

You see the maker.
And their share.

Every piece here carries the name of the person who made it, the village it came from, and a bar showing exactly how much of your money reaches their hands. It is between 58 and 71 percent, which is roughly three times what the export chain pays.

Four crafts.
Pick one and the page follows.

Choose a craft and this section takes on its colours, its technique and its catalogue. Each one is a different set of hands, a different mohalla, and a different reason it nearly died out.

Signature two: the price split

Where your money
actually goes.

The bar under each price is not decoration. Blue is the artisan, brass is us, grey is packing and shipping. Tap the maker's name to meet them.

Signature three: the artisans

Nine mohallas.
Two hundred hands.

Some of these families have made the same thing for six generations. Two of the crafts here were down to fewer than thirty working artisans a decade ago.

FAQ

Fair
questions.

Real, and auditable. We pay artisans per piece at rates agreed each April with their cooperative, and the split you see is that rate over the retail price. Our margin covers photography, the website, packing, GST and two salaries. The annual note with the actual numbers goes to anyone who asks.

No, and that is the point. Blue pottery is painted freehand, so no two lids match perfectly. Block print has registration variance of a millimetre or two. If you need identical pieces for a set, tell us and we will match them from the same batch before shipping.

Jaipur blue pottery, Sanganeri hand block print and Bagru print all carry Geographical Indication protection, which means the name legally belongs to work actually made here by these methods. We hold the authorised-user paperwork and will send a copy with any order.

The glaze is lead-free and fired at 800°C, so yes for dry food and short contact. We do not recommend it for hot liquids stored for hours or for the dishwasher, and we say so on the product card rather than in the small print.

Pottery goes in a moulded foam bed inside two boxes with 4 cm of clearance. Our breakage rate is 1.4%, and anything that arrives broken is replaced on your word alone. We do not ask for photographs or make you return the pieces.

Yes. Custom colours, sizes and motifs are possible in all four crafts with a 3–5 week lead time and 50% advance. The artisan is paid the advance the day the order is confirmed, not when it ships.
