What we work in
Three material families
Each one earns its place on performance first. The sustainability case follows, it does not lead.
48% of our volume
Terracotta
Local red and buff clay, wheel-thrown, slip-cast and hand-modelled, then kiln-fired to temperature in our own Neemrana and Molela workshops.
- Local red and buff clay bodies, dug within 60 km
- Wheel-thrown, slip-cast and press-moulded
- Bisque and glaze fired to 1,040–1,180°C
- Lead-free glazes; food-contact certification on tableware
Terracotta is porous unless glazed or sealed. Unglazed garden ware will patina and can spall if it is saturated then frozen — we freeze-test, but cannot warrant every climate.
9 stone types worked
Marble
Makrana and Ambaji marble, soapstone and mixed-stone inlay, hand-cut and honed at our Kishangarh workshop. Natural material — veining and colour vary block to block.

Marble stains from oil and acid if left unsealed. We seal on request and supply care cards, but it is a natural material and it will age.
