Each one is slightly different — the walls aren't perfectly even, the rim has its own curve, and the tone varies from charcoal to warm brown depending on where the fire reached it during firing. That's the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe black isn't paint or glaze. Each piece is fired in an open kiln for nine to ten hours, then pulled out white-hot and plunged into water steeped with the bark of the Sohliya tree. That's the entire process — earth, fire, water, bark. In 2024, this tradition received a Geographical Indication tag (GI No. 1095), formally recognizing what the women of these two villages have known for centuries: this clay, from this valley, made by these hands, cannot be replicated anywhere else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e13 cm diameter × 6.5 cm height (approx. 5.1 × 2.6 in) · 300 g · Black clay from Sung Valley · Burnished with serpentine stone · Hand wash only · Jaintia Hills, Meghalaya, India\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WILLAGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42180410474599,"sku":"WLG-BOWL-SUNGVALLEY-001","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/7373\/1687\/files\/WILLAGE_Sung_Valley_Soup_Bowl_Black_Clay_Main..jpg?v=1775275297","url":"https:\/\/willage.life\/products\/sung-valley-soup-bowl-handcrafted-black-clay","provider":"WILLAGE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
