Pahara Tea Cups (Set of 4)

Pahara brings together functional beauty and meditative craft in a set of four tea cups that transform the daily chai ritual into an artistic experience. Created by ceramist Sarada Rout, each cup showcases the sophisticated integrated marbling technique where mineral stains are mixed directly into the clay during preparation—not applied as surface glazes. This means the marbled patterns run through the entire clay body, creating depth and permanence that surface decoration cannot achieve.

The color palette speaks in soft, earthy whispers: blush pinks fade into sandy beiges, interrupted by charcoal grays and terracotta streaks. No two cups are identical—each carries its own unique marbled signature, a testament to the organic nature of working with living clay. The colors shift and flow like watercolor paintings frozen in ceramic form, creating visual movement even in stillness.

The form itself is generous yet refined—rounded bodies that nestle comfortably in cupped hands, curved handles that balance elegance with ergonomic ease, gently flared rims that guide each sip. These are cups designed for the slow pleasure of tea drinking, whether it's morning chai shared with family or solitary afternoon reflection.

As Special Edition pieces, Pahara cups represent functional art—tableware elevated to collectible status through exceptional craftsmanship and artistic vision. They honor the simple truth that beautiful objects make daily rituals more meaningful.
