Chunar Pottery

Chunar is an ancient town in the Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh. Slowly gaining popularity, the terracotta articles of Chunar are produced for both decor and utility. As the oldest handicraft, pottery produces earthen objects that hold a certain cultural appeal. The Red Clay pottery of Chunar is unique because the potters practice a hand modeling technique that dates back to Neolithic times, before the wheel was invented.

This glazed clay tea set from Chunar has been a part of the contributor's kitchen since 1974.
