Chequered Fruit Stand

This hand-built fruit stand pairs sculptural elegance with bold design. The chequered pattern is hand-painted using natural clay pigments, while the polished finish is achieved entirely without glaze. Made by Byentaro Ceramics from hyper-local materials and fired with wood, it brings thoughtful, low-impact craftsmanship to your table. A striking piece for serving fruit or bread, or display.

About the process

About the process

Every piece from Byentaro Ceramics is shaped by many hands and a deep connection to the local land and traditions.

The raw clay is collected from the village, and then refined by hand. It’s soaked in recycled rainwater, sieved and kneaded to remove impurities, and then worked into form using coiling, pinching, slab, and wheel-throwing techniques.

Natural earth pigments in tones of black, white, orange and blue are painted freehand before firing. A unique two-stage firing process, including an open wood-fired finish, results in rich, smoky surfaces.

Once fired, items are burnished smooth with stones; a patient process often carried out by women in the studio.

No two items are ever the same.
