Black Pottery Square Kettle

Longpi Black Pottery has its origins in a small village called Longpi in Manipur. This style of pottery is distinctive to that village and has been practiced for over decades. Being completely black, the material used to make this special type of pottery is a mixture of black Serpentite stone and weathered rock which is then molded into the desired object. A unique feature of this pottery is that the potter’s wheel is not used in the process. The piece is entirely shaped by hands! This style of pottery is rare, exceptional and quite extraordinary. Products created by this particular craft included bathroom accessories, jugs, decanters, crockery and ceramics.
