About Panshu Ceramics

PANSHU CERAMICS

Excite your senses and invite nature into your home with our tableware collection.

The Panshu Story

"Designed and crafted with a perfect juxtaposition of vibrance and relaxation."

Panshu Ceramics are made to excite your senses with a richness of color, design and form that is inspired by nature. We loved creating these pieces of superior craftsmanship that are a wonderful contrast to typical tableware.

We designed this collection to embody the joy of inviting nature into your home, of sharing food and conversation, and the laughter and lightness of good times spent in the company of friends and family.

With Panshu Ceramics we want to share our love for craftsmanship and sustainable lifestyle with people who care. We want to inspire people to create memories and to live in an environment which reflects their love for life and the natural world.

Inspired by nature & craft

Inspired by nature & craft

In rural villages throughout Asia clay pots, plates and bowls are often made using simple methods and limited tools. Sometimes original forms are made in clay, formed over stones and pebbles and this technique inspired our approach. 

Production

Production

Once we identified our favorite shapes, plaster moulds were made in all the different forms we wanted to include in the range. We made certain to retain the bumps and imprints left by the maker’s fingers in the damp clay used for the very first pieces.

Hand Finishing

Hand Finishing

After the clay hardens the body can be removed from the mould for the first hand finishing. The first fired ‘bisque’ is hand-dipped in our glaze and dried in preparation to add the subtle speckle texture, delicately applied by hand to give each piece its unique textured finish. 

Safari sands

Safari sands

The amber-tinted glow of dusk in the wilderness is a striking backdrop. Trees become shadows enchanted by the wildlife within their branches. Walking barefoot at dusk along the barren beaches of Yala one can feel the vibrations of nature.

Coral Reef

Coral Reef

Warm ripples of seafoam welcome you into the Indian Ocean all along the Sri Lankan coastline. Venture in a little and the cool waters deepen to reveal colour and character; the coral reefs glimmer with fish darting between their fingers which are as rich in hues as they are in shape.

Temple Clay

Temple Clay

The early morning sun washes the white walls of Sri Lanka's temples and Stupas with a warm liquid brilliance, casting pits of light and shade across the bumpy surface of the clay that has been applied by hand to the sinuous walls surrounding these holy buildings.
