Button Curry is an out-and-out LBB crew stan. It's the Haute kitchen couture aesthetic that had us falling in love - super minimalist yet standout in its glazes (think rich shades of burgundy, cobalt, apricot, teal and speckled snow). To add to this, everything on their line is handmade, painted and glazed. The pasta bowls (also be used for curries or ramen) and plates (can be used for salads and main courses) available in varying sizes are our favourites. Keep in mind though that everything here is produced in small batches, sells out very quickly and takes time to come back in stock. So, act fast! You can also shop on LBB and get free delivery for orders above INR 599.

What We Love: Speckled Series and Indian Ink Collection.

Price: INR 750 upwards

Aura Pottery's range of handmade ceramics is a play on textures and imperfection or wabi-sabi. To tie into their overall rustic theme, the colour schemes are kept earthy and muted. We'd recommend going straight for the assorted bowls and platters featuring embossed patterns of leaves, macrame, grooves and cutouts - they are one-of-a-kind statement pieces. Aura Pottery's shapes are pretty unique and organic too - ruffle plates, tripod planters, large raw carved vases and lamps. Aside from dinnerware and decor, ceramics and pottery also find their way into miniatures, jewellery and special smoke ware here. 

What We Love: Kintsugi Collection and Bali Series of pots. Everything here is made-to-order with additional delivery charges based on location and weight.

Price: INR 750 upwards

Anumita's experiments at A Clay Story give us some of the most gorgeous ceramics we’ve seen. These boast organic forms and glazes that are earthy, moody and elemental in some cases playful like the doodled collection, a collaborative effort with a local artist. The mugs, candle holders, sushi platters and ramen bowls are most prized here, the only catch being every collection is a limited edition and sells out like hotcakes. Keep tabs on their social handles to never miss an edit drop. Alternatively, you can also sign up for their newsletter and receive the yearly or monthly catalogue in your inbox.

What We Love: Misty Moon and Orbit Collections

Price: Vary depending on the current collection in stock

Some of the student-made pieces may have tiny cracks but every piece is still functional.

Divided into themed collections, you can shop for dinner and quarter plates, pasta bowls and a limited collection of storage containers featuring cutesy designs like floral blooms (The Marigold Field), abstract line drawings (An Incan Moon) and cool onion-shaped patterns (Purple Lord Of Rings).

The Mumbai-based potter Sneha Singla is behind Jellyfish Pottery whose collection of ceramicware is largely inspired by nature and made for everyday use as well as when you need to bring out the awesome tableware when the guests are over. You can pick up a whole range of plates that not only work as functional pieces but also make for great props for your food photography.
