Description

The Nkuku Ela ceramic collection is made by skilled artisans in Vietnam. Every stage of the production process is done by hand using traditional tools and techniques, from shaping the white clay on a traditional potter's wheel, to placing each individual drop of natural wax around the rim, creating the beautiful raised drop texture. The natural process of producing the collection means no chemicals are required and adds to the beauty of the products, making every piece an extra special addition to your table.

Carefully selected clays give whiteness and translucency. It can often go from oven to table. Fine china The synthetic bone ash used in fine china makes it a more affordable alternative to bone china whilst maintaining the benefits - strength, translucency and delicacy.
