Clayware
Clay plays a crucial role in every traditional household across India. Available in plenty across river delta region, they provide the most accessible and environment friendly option for our households for ages. Though potters are in plenty, we travelled in search of clusters that have a rich history and following traditional techniques of making. This took us to the Cauvery Delta region which is known for the quality of clay and the cluster of artisans for their traditional making technique. Zishta is proud to bring you the most authentic range of clay products from the cauvery delta region’s hand crafted traditional designs!
