Terralo tableware (plates, bowls, cups, cooking pots and serving pieces) is shaped by hand in Indian villages, by potters who have kept their craft alive through hard years. Every piece you buy gives a potter's family steady, fairly paid work. Clay is the oldest tableware there is: it keeps water naturally cool, cooks food slowly, needs no plastic and returns to the earth when its life is done.

• We buy from village potters whose craft is struggling to survive, and pay them fairly and on time
• Natural clay: no plastic, no chemical coatings, and it returns to the earth at the end of its life
• The everyday goodness of clay: water that stays naturally cool, food cooked and served the old way
