Moonshadow Vase Longpi

The Moonshadow vases marry primordial Indian handicrafts with a modern-day aesthetic. Two cosmic eggs sit inversely over each other, centred to perfection, bringing forth a form symmetrical in stature - the epitome of wabi-sabi fused with Longpi, a distinctive craft named after the villages Longpi Kajui and Longpi Khullen from the Ukhrul District of Manipur. It is made with a mixture of clay and ground black serpentinite stone. After thorough kneading, a large slab is rolled out and shaped into a cylinder, and the pot is usually finished by rubbing the surface with the reddish-brown seed of a wild creeper and finally with beeswax.
