Tiipoi Longpi Pottery
Tiipoi works with a small number of artisans, led by master craftsman Khanmung Sasa, to create useful pottery made of river clay and ground stone from Longpi, a remote village in Manipur, India. Each piece is hand built, sun-dried and woodfired, with a burnished surface that forms a natural protective seal ideal for slow cooking.

This ceramic cooking pot has been hand built, left in the sun to dry out and then woodfired.

Reviews from Our Customers
The Making of Tiipoi’s Longpi Pottery
In his Bangalore studio, artisan Khanmung Sasa shapes vessels by hand. The distinctive black clay he uses comes from Longpi, a remote village in Manipur. It is gathered by his uncles and cousins, prepared by hand, packed into sacks and driven south, then loaded onto a train that winds across the subcontinent. “It takes about three months just to get the clay,” says Spandana Gopal, founder of design studio Tiipoi.
Khanmung has pottery in his blood. “His father is a potter, and his grandfather was a known Longpi potter,” Spandana explains. He builds each piece using techniques passed down through his family, while three women from the surrounding neighbourhood finish and burnish the pots by hand.
