| Longpi pottery from Manipur’s Ukhrul hills brings centuries of Naga craftsmanship to your barware collection. Artisans eschew the potter’s wheel, relying instead on practiced hand pressure to coil serpentinite rock and local red clay into form. Once shaped, each cup is burnished with a river stone, imparting a velvety touch that feels luxurious against the palm. Firing takes place in an open husk kiln, followed by pine-bark smoking that locks in the deep charcoal hue and scattered silver flecks unique to every piece. The stone-rich matrix creates natural thermal insulation, slowing temperature gain so chilled ales stay crisp longer than in ordinary glass. Its mildly alkaline surface softens hop bitterness while accentuating biscuit and caramel notes, subtly refining the brewery’s intended profile. The cup’s tapered lip concentrates aroma, allowing complex bouquets to unfold before the first swallow. Completely lead-free and food-safe, it endures everyday use yet retains an air of restrained sophistication suitable for tastings and dinner service alike. Flame tolerance even permits gentle warming for mulled cider on cooler evenings. Care is straightforward: allow the cup to return to room temperature, rinse with mild soap, and avoid dishwashers or metal scourers to preserve the evolving patina. With time, a soft sheen will emerge—a living record of celebrations shared and stories swapped. Each purchase directly supports Longpi families, ensuring this endangered heritage continues to thrive one pour at a time. |
