He says, “I continued to stare into the sky, and realised that the Sun and Moon are a part of the same clan, playing with yellow and dark colours of the night, yet so different from one another!”? He further adds, “the Sun and Moon are like his own daughters, Saina and Meera, intermingling and fighting with each other, but also loving and caring at the same time”?. He feels blessed by the great Bonbibi (Goddess of the forest)! A second drop of water hits Alam”s face, and he starts to wrap his “Potli”? of work, with a wide smile on his face! Finally, he knows that he will sleep in peace, for tonight he is inspired by the Sun and the Moon and by the meeting of two godly entities!After three months of diligent working and sleepless night, our design team were able to capture the essence of this simple village story, the story of inspiration into “Simply Pastel Part II: Sun & Moon”. This is a range of ceramic tableware with dual tones of mustard yellow and off-white, the pastels that inspired the team and Alam. to visit other products of this collection.DESCRIPTIONIncredibly handmade and delicately hand-glazed by Alam Bhai, ?A Universe in Chai is an East Indian earth-tale, that came into being when he was inspired by the irregular, infinite beauty of the Golden Sun and Milky Moon in space; so different, yet part of the same clan.
