Made of high-fired stoneware and glazed using no lead and cadmium.

All of Omved's pottery is made from stoneware, wheel-thrown and hand built in a quiet village on the Coromandel Coast of Southeast India. Our fine pottery is hand crafted, is of the highest quality in every detail and refined to perfection.

Each piece is thus unusual and unique.

Stoneware is clay that when fired (a high-fired clay; about 2185 degrees Fahrenheit) to maturity becomes a sturdy, chip resistant material suitable that takes heat well. This is different from the earthenware (usually called "ceramics" or "ceramic ware") which is a white and porous clay fired at a low temperature (about 1915 degrees Fahrenheit) and hence not as durable.
