Top 8 Places in India to Buy Crockery

Crockery made out of bone china, porcelain, ceramic, stoneware, earthenware, etc. is bound to break anytime  if not handled with utter care. But it doesn’t mean that we should never invest in crockery. They bring the feel of royalty and soothe your eyes with satisfaction. For a fact, I must say that I can never take my eyes off them even if I have handled them a hundred times. They also bring a therapeutic sense of self in multiple ways.

There are lot of benefits for having food in ceramicware:-

Ceramicware never holds the bacteria E. coli or any other bacteria on its surface unlike steel or any other plates, due to its material and build structure. It is the healthiest of all materials due to its nonporous nature.

It makes your simplest food look so good on a plate. As they say, “You eat with your eyes first.” Presentation matters the most. Ceramicware is considered non-toxic and non-reactive. But not all ceramics can sustain heat, so choose accordingly.

Last but not least, they come in such a variety of shapes and sizes and quality and appearance that for people like me, I can buy any ceramicware irrespective of its purpose.

There are two types of people that you can mainly see when it comes to shopping for crockery: –

1. Few buy crockery to serve when you have guests at home.
2. Rest buy crockery out of decor passion.

If you fall anywhere under the second category, then you are with me… So it’s been 8 years and counting by now, and my craze for crockeries never ever subsides. I never feel enough of it or regret spending my money on them… It is very therapeutic to serve yourself and light up your space aesthetics.
It’s my love for crockery or anything made out of ceramic. I feel delighted in exploring stuff brought from different places.
As such, I am the single handler of my crockery and never give it to my house help with even cleaning them. I also make sure while investing in any crockery for its quality and design without any compromise. I believe this article serves you in some way.
Let me jot it down for you with some of my collection for your reference: –

1) IKEA India – Hyderabad & Navi Mumbai (New Bombay).

IKEA is a one-stop destination to meet all your expectations under one roof. You can find all kinds of things required for your home here. The best of one is no doubt the crockery. They are so eye-catching and fine and full of quality that we can hardly find them anywhere. Most of the things you see in IKEA are imported. It is basically a platform for different designers across the globe,  who put up their products in the entire branches of Ikea. There are thousands and thousands of designer products in IKEA, offering a variety of options for a single product.

That too at an affordable range. For some people it may be a product designed and manufactured in their own country, while for others it may be called “imported.” But whatever it may be imported or domestic, the price remains the same for all countries according to their country’s currency value.

This is one big benefit of buying things from IKEA. They have got those fine finishes and the best of it when it comes to aesthetics. One may never find it enough to have shopped at Ikea. They are budget-friendly, and you get varieties of shapes and colors. The colors are also most often in pastel hues, meaning they won’t be bright and disturbing your attention amongst your display unit or kitchen. A few may find it expensive, but trust me, it’s worth buying crockery or any bone china-related products from IKEA.

One problem with IKEA shopping is that all those things that are bound to breakage are not deliverable. So you have to go to the shop physically and collect them. There is also another option of click-and-collect service, which will be convenient if you stay nearby. Things that can’t be brought online can be purchased by this option as well.

You can shop online from their website:

IKEA in India has two big outlets, being the following:
firstly launched in Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
The second one is being launched in Navi Mumbai (New Bombay), Maharashtra, India.

2) Nestasia

Quality! Quality! Quality! If you are looking for anything from culturally related crockery to fancy ones or a satisfying simple home decor object to a signature bowl, then Nestasia is something you shouldn’t miss checking out. I am not only an avid fan of Nestasia but also a true devotee when it comes to shopping with Nestasia. They have things from home decor to mainly dining-related collections.

Online shopping is very easy, and they deliver each of their products with utmost care. You can close your eyes and buy stuff from here; they are so good.
Although their prices are a bit on the higher side, not everyone will be comfortable buying here. Trust me,  Its a one-time investment except for the only fact that you got to handle the crockery well.

Their shop is in Kolkata. But they ship it to any part of India without any damage. You can easily save your time by shopping online from their website. They never fail to launch new products all the time. Before it goes out of stock, don’t forget to grab your choice at first sight itself. Chances are that on your next visit it may be sold out.

4. Ware innovations

Ms. Yogita’s (Product designer and founder) main The aim is to make our food look good on the plate and feel the same. And there is no doubt in what she is saying. Be it only a few cookies, when served on a good plate, it makes you feel so much better. It’s like you are being treated like royalty. Crockeries give you that feel, which we often find when we go to star hotels. The feel of hospitality. Ware Innovations’ product itself is unique. The feel and texture and finish are all real good. If you handle it well with care, you can even pass it on to your next generation.

My little daughter nearly dropped a plate of mine brought from Ware, but still not a single crack appeared on it. she left it out of her hand while sitting down on the floor. But still, had it been other light crockery, I would have surely lost it. This developed my trust towards Ware Innovation’s quality. They are heat- and cold-proof temperature products. Also, their design is very unique. Though one table setting would cost you more, you may agree with the fact once you have shopped for a product from them. You can go to the shop or buy online.
