This piece is lovingly handmade.

Each batch of clay sourced from our earth possesses its own distinctiveness and uniqueness. All our pieces are made in small batches, causing variations in form and finish. These variations may include colour tones, glaze, texture, and size. These contribute to the uniqueness of the piece.

Dishwasher safe, but we recommend hand wash.

The maker

Nammu is the ceramic practice of Jade (Say: Ya-deh), whose work is guided by an intuitive relationship with clay and a deep respect for the materials she uses. After graduating from the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam in 2016, where her award-winning research project sparked a lasting love for ceramics, she relocated to South Africa and established Nammu in Cape Town.

Working alongside a small team of local ceramicists, Jade creates sculptural pieces inspired by ancient pottery, mythology and the raw beauty of South African clay. Embracing irregular textures, rich earthy tones and organic forms, each piece carries the subtle marks of the hands that shaped it.

What we love most about Nammu is Jade's ability to create objects that feel both ancient and contemporary. Her ceramics are timeless, grounding and tactile, requiring us to slow down and appreciate the beauty of natural materials.

Origin: South Africa

Care guide

Wash by hand with warm water and mild soap. Not dishwasher safe. Avoid prolonged soaking — the raw clay body is porous and may absorb water over time. Each piece is food safe. Handle with care; ceramics are durable but will chip if dropped.
