The perfect companions for your morning brew. These Longpi mugs are meticulously shaped by hand, with every curve, every contour, and every intricately woven cane handle infused with love by the local artisans of the region.

From the precise mixing of powdered serpentinite rock and clay to the manual molding process using wooden and bamboo poles, each mug exudes a homespun earthiness—a one-of-a-kind, handmade piece with its own unique variations and individuality.

STORY

In the hills of Manipur, India, the Tangkhul tribe of Longpi Khullen village has been carrying forward the ancient craft of Longpi pottery. This “pottery of the royals,” known for its black hue from serpentine stone firing, is uniquely made without potters' wheels, with artisans hand-molding every piece. Each vessel, with its distinct imperfections, tells the story of the hands that shaped it and the rich cultural heritage it represents.
