How it works
Why no two nerikomi pieces are alike
Nerikomi is a Japanese ceramic technique. Coloured clays are stacked in layers, pressed into a block and sliced, so the pattern runs right through the clay: look inside, or at the unglazed foot. The slices are joined and shaped by hand, and because the block changes with every cut, no two pieces are ever the same. Our nerikomi planters, figurines, bowls, bells and wind chimes are made by hand in India.
About Nerikomi
Not painted on. The pattern runs through the clay. Nerikomi is a Japanese ceramic technique in which coloured clays are layered, sliced and formed so the design becomes part of the piece itself. That means no two patterns can ever be repeated exactly.
Our nerikomi planters, figurines, bowls, bells and wind chimes are made by hand in India and sit firmly in the Curator mood: unusual, tactile and chosen because your eye said yes. Hand wash and expect every piece to be one of a kind in its pattern.

Good to know
Why is nerikomi more expensive than painted ceramics?
Every layer of coloured clay is prepared, stacked, sliced and pressed by hand, and the piece has to dry slowly so the clays do not separate. It takes far longer to make than a painted piece. Our nerikomi starts from ₹1,499.
What nerikomi pieces do you make?
Animal planters, figurines, bowls, and hanging bells and wind chimes. Each one is made by hand, so the pattern on yours will be its own.
What is nerikomi?
Nerikomi is a Japanese technique in which coloured clays are layered, pressed and sliced, so the pattern runs right through the clay rather than being painted on the surface. That is why no two pieces come out exactly alike.
