Croissant Large Claypot

Material

Stoneware crafted from ceramic clay with two tone glaze.

Craftsmanship process

Each claypot is fully hand thrown from a block of clay. Handles are hand rolled and mounted on the pot, and the lid is also hand thrown and punched with an air ventilation hole. The Jishan and Poppy & Pepper brands are stamped at the bottom of each pot.

For the glaze, the pot and lid are sprayed with a cream colour before the croissant patterns are revealed using a removable glue. Then they’re sprayed with dark chocolate glaze, including on the inside of the pot and lid. The bottom of the pot is unglazed. Finally, the pots are fired at 1280 degrees.

Design

Jishan and Poppy & Pepper together we curate a classic shaped claypot thick in materials, that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional for all types of claypot recipes. Generous handles and lid handle provide comfortable grip, flat lid for resting spoon on top of it, big belly carries more food than the pot appears, and a wide opening presents a nice view of the food and allows big scoops from the pot, – are equally satisfying to the delicious food our pot brews. 

Versatility

Suitable for all recipes suited for a claypot. Great for cooking meat or seafood, claypot cooking adds sweetness to the food and soften the meat.

Options

The same pattern is available in 850ml size – Croissant Small Claypot.

Note: We photographed our claypots under studio lighting and corrected in post-production to ensure colour accuracy. The 100% hand-crafted nature of these claypots means every piece is unique and slightly different in dimension and volume. The hand painted patterns appear different in position, size, orientation and shape across all claypots, no two are the same, – that’s part of the design.

The glaze reacts and settles differently on each claypot, you may see noticeable ‘glaze bubbles’ on the exterior of the pot that reveal the first layer of creamy glaze, – they are not faulty, but natural glaze reaction on the clay body happened during firing. All differences in appearance stand for Jishan and Poppy & Pepper’s handmade ceramics nature, and should be embraced.
