- The Coffee Mug included as a special gift for your brother is from the Longpi Black Pottery craft of Manipur which is made from a mixed paste of ground black serpentinite stone and special brown clay, which is found only in Longpi village. The pots are manually shaped, polished, sun-dried and fired in a bonfire. The black color of Longpi ham is a result of reduction firing of the ware, while polishing the heated earthen pots with a local tree leaf right after firing gives them the beautiful shine.
Fun fact! These are designer clay rakhis from the GI (Geographical Indication tag by Government of India) certified black pottery craft of Nizamabad, Azamgarh UP.
Making process: Handmade by master craftsmen using local clay, hand-carved and burnished, reduction fired and then rubbed with a silver colored mixture of lead, mercury & zinc.
- The silver fillings are known to be harmless to skin, and the craft is used only for ornamentation purposes on surfaces that do not come in direct contact with food/mouth. What you hold is a piece of our rich culture and history!
Note : Use your creativity to convert the rakhi into accessories or fridge magnets post the festival, so you can keep and cherish the beautiful handcrafted pieces for years to come! Do reach out to us in case you'd need any help with the same!
