The Pottery Shop is a warm, cramped space full of clayware precariously balanced on tired looking shelves. All items are handmade by local craftsmen. They have lamps, ornaments, teapots, plates, mugs, pendants, shampoo containers for hotels and spas, fragrant oils, ashtrays; the works. The prices are reasonable and you can get something decent for Rs 350 (a ceramic pendant or key tag) and the clay mugs start at Rs 500. Customized clayware can be ordered for corporate events or social gatherings or whatever the case may be. You have to visit the shop and talk it out, the rate will depend on the quantity of the order. Jumbo Elephant Mugs! There are few who would not delight in the giant grand mugs resembling an elephant’s foot (Rs 800 last time I checked). They also have the universal go-to mugs for lazy gift givers. The usual mugs bearing blanket declarations like ‘World’s Greatest Mom’ get a new and rustic twist in etched clay. If you want a last minute gift for someone then I would suggest a visit to the Pottery shop. There is nothing original in the phrasing, but it is a unique and pleasant alternative to the eyesores available at say, Uthum Pathum. And I'm sure any smoker would be interested in the elephant foot shaped ashtrays, or even the Colombar aunties who haven't smoked a day in their lives but insist on amassing an impressive collection of ashtrays for decorative purposes.
