Pipihiri Lands on Kala Curry: Where to Buy Our Handcrafted Terracotta Online in 2026

We have news. Pipihiri’s handcrafted terracotta — every piece shaped, fired, and hand-painted in our small studio in Najafgarh, Delhi — is now available on Kala Curry.

Kala Curry is one of India’s most thoughtfully curated marketplaces for handmade and indigenous crafts.

If you’ve been waiting for our pieces to land somewhere new, this is it.

Why Kala Curry is a great new home for our handcrafted terracotta

Kala Curry isn’t a generic gifting platform. It’s a tightly curated home for Indian craft — the kind of marketplace where the buyer reads the maker’s story before adding to cart. That matters to us.

The point of Pipihiri has always been to put the artisan back in front of the work, not hide them behind a brand. Kala Curry treats every vendor that way by default.

For us, this partnership is one more way to make Pipihiri reachable for people who aren’t already in our orbit — gift buyers, decor enthusiasts, sustainability-minded shoppers.

And we do this without diluting what each piece of handcrafted terracotta actually is.

Six top picks of our handcrafted terracotta now live on Kala Curry

Each of these is on our Kala Curry vendor page. We picked the six pieces below because they’re the ones our customers ask about most — and the ones we think travel best as gifts.

1. Terracotta Cow Bell (Set of 2)

A pair of hand-shaped cow bells with that warm, hollow terracotta ring. We hang them by the front door — guests notice them before anything else. Painted by hand, so no two are identical.

2. Terracotta Cow Money Bank

Our most-pinned piece on Pinterest, and one of the first things we ever made. A cow-shaped money bank that’s equal parts toy and decor.

Excellent first-birthday or housewarming gift — and one that becomes a keepsake rather than landfill.

3. Terracotta Cow Penstand

The same cow personality, this time built to hold pens and brushes at a writing desk or workstation. Works as a small planter too if you cut the inner sleeve.

4. Terracotta Elephant Bell (Set of 2)

A bigger, slightly louder cousin to the cow bell. Pairs beautifully with brass or rattan in entryways, balconies and pooja corners.

5. Terracotta Owl Tea Light Cover

One of eight tea-light cover designs we make (owl, cow, elephant, camel, dog, reindeer, hanging bird, pumpkin). The owl is the bestseller — light a tea light underneath and the eyes glow. Easily our most photographed piece.

6. Terracotta Piggy Bank

The classic, done properly. Hand-shaped, hand-painted, kiln-fired. The kind of piggy bank a child keeps into adulthood and then passes on.

Prices on Kala Curry range from around ₹100 to ₹999 depending on the piece and set size.

The short version of the Pipihiri story

For new readers: Pipihiri is the joint work of Aditi Tangri (a sculpture graduate from Haridwar) and Ajay Kumar (operations and growth), based out of a small studio in Kharkhari Nahar village, Najafgarh, Delhi.

The studio was set up in 2020 during the pandemic, originally because Aditi wanted to keep working in clay while everything else was shut.

The name “Pipihiri” comes from a folk word for whistle — the mud whistles that potters’ children used to play with in villages across northern India.

We make handcrafted terracotta because it’s the oldest craft material on the subcontinent, fully biodegradable, and forgiving in a way that lets the artisan’s hand stay visible in every finished piece.

Everything we sell is made in-house. We don’t outsource to factories or contract manufacturers. That’s both the constraint and the point.

You can read more on our home page and in our terracotta home decor guide.
