The range of products includes cutlery, hollowware, flatware, kitchenware, bathroom, desk and office accessories, bowls of all sizes, lamps, sculptural vases and furniture.

All products are handmade and finished off by a craftsperson.

These items are collectible. They are not trendy fashion items that are disposable after a season.
