Black Pottery Goblet Cup
Handcrafted Clay Chalice | Azamgarh Terracotta Art
This handcrafted black pottery goblet features a classic chalice silhouette elevated on a sculpted pedestal base. Its smooth rounded bowl and balanced stem create a form traditionally associated with ceremonial and beverage serving vessels.
The deep matte-black finish is achieved using the traditional smoke-firing technique practiced in Nizamabad, Azamgarh. Subtle tonal variations across the surface reflect the natural character of hand-shaped terracotta clay.
With its raised base and refined proportion, this goblet-style cup works beautifully for serving beverages or as a rustic table accent in heritage-inspired settings.
