Every piece, a love story
Kashmiri papier-mâché (often written paper mache) is one of the valley's oldest crafts. Paper pulp is shaped, dried and smoothed, then painted by hand, layer by layer. A single vase can take around four weeks and pass through four pairs of hands before it is finished.
Our Chinar Leaf vase is painted with golden chinar leaves, the tree that defines autumn in Kashmir, over a deep green ground, and stands about 30 cm tall. It makes a graceful centrepiece on a dining table, console or mantel.
Every vase is painted by hand in our Srinagar studio, so each one is unique. It's a thoughtful gift for a new home, and we ship across India, with Cash on Delivery, and abroad.
