At Palini, we embark on our tableware journey with a deep reverence for India's traditional art forms. Our inaugural collection is a homage to Pichhwaii art, a centuries-old tradition from Rajasthan celebrated for its intricate detailing and vibrant motifs. This art form often features elements of nature, spirituality, and daily life, which we’ve reimagined in our modern terracotta tableware.
Cows, Lotus Petals, and Buds—symbols rich with meaning in Pichhwaii art, frequently associated with Lord Krishna, nature, and the cycle of life—serve as the foundation for our designs. Our collection draws inspiration from these elements, creating pieces that are both subtle and evocative. Each plate, bowl, and cup tells its own story, merging traditional motifs with contemporary style.
-
The Lotus Petal: A recurring element in Pichhwaii art, the lotus symbolizes purity and beauty. Our tableware features soft curves and delicate shapes that echo the elegance of a blooming lotus, bringing calm and grace to your dining experience.
-
The Bud: Representing new beginnings and potential, the bud motif in our designs reflects the ever-growing and flourishing nature of our artisan community. The intricate handwork on each piece adds a unique touch to your table, embodying this budding potential.
-
The Cow: In Pichhwaii art, cows symbolize abundance and nourishment. While abstracted in our designs, the spirit of protection and care remains central to each piece, mirroring our commitment to supporting artisans.
Our collection is more than just tableware; it’s about integrating a piece of Indian art into your home in a way that feels both personal and modern. Whether for everyday meals or special occasions, these pieces transform your dining table into a space of reflection and connection to India’s artistic heritage.
Each product is meticulously handcrafted from terracotta, ensuring that every item is unique. While shapes and patterns may vary slightly, the essence of tradition is present in every piece. Our aim is to make terracotta a part of every household while preserving the beauty of Pichhwaii art.
