Verdant Katori | Handmade Ceramic — Stoneware Ceramic Collection by Lair Living

The katori, done properly.

Matte olive glaze, hand-thrown, and at 9 cm the right size for dal, curd, kheer or sabzi in a thali. Ceramic katoris hold heat more gently than steel and never make the food taste of metal — a small change to the thali that you notice at every meal.

Part of the Stoneware Ceramic Collection by Lair Living

The Stoneware Ceramic Collection is Lair Living's handmade ceramic tableware range, made by artisans across India using the same slow, hand-thrown methods that Indian pottery has relied on for generations. High firing gives stoneware its density, its heat retention and its chip resistance — the qualities that let a piece survive daily use rather than occasional display. Because each glaze reacts differently in the kiln, small variations in tone and form are expected, and they are precisely what separates a handmade table from a factory-made one.
