Manipur Black Pottery

Zishta is all about journeys in search of rich traditions. One such journeys got us in touch with the highly skilled artisans of Manipur who make these beautiful crafted cookware that is part of their rich traditions. We learnt from them how Black pottery, locally known as “Loree Hamlei” has lasted the test of time and have been an integral part of North East homes and traditions. Made by baking clay made of a mixture of two types of stone, this unique cookware is known for their rich iron content and ability to kill germs in the food cooked, faster than any conventional vessel. The aesthetic appeal cannot be missed either!
