About this item

A vessel steeped in tradition and filled to the brim with human connection. First dreamed up in collaboration with our friends at Diaspora Co., The Kulhad was inspired by the handleless clay cups that have been used for centuries in the Indian subcontinent—simple vessels made to hold a few warm gulps of chai before being tossed, broken and remade. Sana Javeri Kadri, founder of Diaspora Co., shared photos of traditional kulhads from potters near Indian railways, where they’re still thrown “off the hump” and fired by the thousands. Using those images, our team started prototyping by hand on the wheel, refining the shape until we landed on a version that felt just right. That first factory-made run was small, and the original Kulhad came glazed in Rococo back in 2022. We now make The Kulhad in limited quantities in our seasonal glazes.

This mug is well-made and the Malt color is exactly what I wanted for my espresso.

★★★☆☆

Nice feel, but a bit small

The quality of the pottery is great and the Lagoon color is really pretty. It feels good to hold, but 6 oz is a bit smaller than I anticipated for my usual coffee pour. I find myself refilling it often.

★★★★★

Perfect for my morning chai

This little mug has become my favorite. The Panna Cotta color is lovely and the pottery feels so nice and warm in my hands. It's just the right size for a strong cup of chai and washes easily in the dishwasher.

★★★★★
