Product Overview
Tiny Terracotta Clay Glasses are miniature clay tumblers handcrafted from 100% Indian terracotta clay. Inspired by traditional kulhad cups (also known as kullad or kullar), these small earthen vessels echo the iconic clay cups widely used across India for serving chai and street-side beverages.
Each glass is handmade, resulting in subtle variations in shape, finish, and colour that reflect authentic terracotta craftsmanship. Their warm orange tone and natural earthy aroma make them a charming addition to any clay collection. While they can be used practically for serving drinks or holding small clay pieces, they are also appreciated for their tactile texture and gentle clay crunch, revealing soft earthy flavours reminiscent of fresh clay and damp soil.
