Longpi pottery is a traditional craft in a contemporary form. Longpi (Nungbi) is a tiny village in Manipur, a state in North-East India that is known for its blackstone pottery and the art of making crockery and cookware. 

This earthenware set is handcrafted by the Tangkhul tribe who resides in this village. This jug and tumbler set have an earthy aesthetic and is uniquely handmade and moulded without using a potter's wheel with natural elements like earthenware clay, serpentine rocks and weathered rocks. The artisan cuts, carves and moulds the clay and black serpentine rock together using hand-held tools before introducing the piece to high temperatures.

The essential technique of this art is said to be handed down from the Neolithic period
