Blue, for the family table

From nīl, the Bengali word for blue.

We designed NEELĀ around a family meal. Rice at the centre of the table, fish on its own platter, small dishes for bhorta, a bowl for each person’s dal, and something sweet at the end.

The glaze is deep at the centre of each piece and lighter where it thins over the rim, so no two plates are quite the same.

The presentation

Everything around the pieces, from the walnut to the letter waiting beneath the plaque.

Front and side. Dimensions to be confirmed with the production sample.

Lining
Indigo velvet as standard. Walnut-brown suede or ivory linen on request.

One hundred numbered sets

100 numbered sets per series; no more than 500 sets a year.

Shown with a sample name.

Try your name on the plaque

Up to 22 characters. Type it as you write it; the plaque sets it in capitals.

This is a preview. Before anything is engraved, we send you a proof of the exact spelling and layout to approve. The number shown is a sample; yours is given when your commission is approved.

We make each series in batches against confirmed orders. Personal names do not add to the hundred, and a replacement piece never creates a new numbered set.

Each NEELĀ set carries one number, from 001 to 100, engraved on its plaque and printed on its certificate. When the hundredth set is made, the series is closed, and we will not reissue it through custom orders.

The limit is about attention. Each order receives its own, from the first selection to the final presentation, and five hundred sets a year is as many as we will take on.

Availability is confirmed at consultation.

Delivery and care

What happens once you approve your proposal, and after your set arrives.

Production
About 10–12 weeks from your approval of the proposal.
Payment
A first payment when you approve your written proposal. Production begins after it. The balance before dispatch, once your collection has passed inspection. The percentages are set out in each proposal. Nothing is paid through this website.
Delivery
Within Dhaka first, in protective packaging, at a time agreed with you.
Changes and cancellation
Cancellation and refund terms are written into every proposal, and will be published on this site before we take any payment.
Replacement
If a piece breaks, we can make an identified replacement to match your collection, quoted when you ask. A replacement never creates a new numbered set.

Care

Care guidance for your specific pieces arrives with your collection, in the care guide.

  • Wash by hand in warm water with a mild detergent and a soft cloth, and dry straight away.
  • Keep abrasive pads and scouring powders away from the glaze and the rims.
  • Avoid sudden changes of temperature, such as a hot dish set down on cold stone.
  • Dishwasher, microwave and oven suitability will be stated only after testing. Until your care guide confirms it, please wash by hand.
  • Keep the walnut chest out of direct sun and away from damp. Dust it with a dry, soft cloth.
