The finish is a deep metallic black that comes from the stone itself and the firing process, not from glaze. The surface has the subtle shimmer that's unique to this tradition. At 6.75 inches long, it's sized for chutneys, dips, small sides, or anything you want to serve in something that feels like a small piece of the earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLongpi pottery is made by the Tangkhul tribe in the village of Longpi Khullen in the hills of Manipur, northeast India — a tradition dating back to the Neolithic period, roughly 10,000 BC. There is no potter's wheel. Every piece is shaped entirely by hand using a paste of powdered serpentinite stone (\"leshonlung\" in the local language) mixed with brown clay collected during the dry months. The exact proportions are knowledge passed down through generations of Tangkhul artisans and not written anywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e6.75 × 3.5 × 1.25 in (approx. 17 × 9 × 3 cm) · Serpentinite stone and clay · Hand-molded without a potter's wheel · Handcrafted in Longpi Khullen, Manipur, India\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"WILLAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40927101517927,"sku":"WLG-BOWL-LONGPI-PATRA-001","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/7373\/1687\/files\/WILLAGE_Longpi_Square_Dinner_Plate_Food..jpg?v=1775621779","url":"https:\/\/willage.life\/products\/patra-serving-bowl-longpi-black-pottery","provider":"WILLAGE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
