A Style for all your Senses
MAIWA EAST

An Oasis of Interior Design 

An English enamelled pot. "JUDGE" WARE. These came to us by way of India.
Beautiful black finish - perfect for warming your mulligatawny ($129.95 - $149.95).
 It rests on a vintage Indian kantha quilt (149.95).


Hammered copper vessel.
The finish of this item recalls each blow of the artisan's hammer - a wonder of craftsmanship and
a pleasure to hold ($499.95). It rests on a vintage Indian kantha quilt (149.95).

Two white enamelled cups ($12.95 each) sit on a black marble platter.
The platter - as heavy as the rock it was cut from, is a marvel of the stonecutter's art ($249.00).
Both items sit on a vintage Indian kantha quilt (149.95).

A small brass bucket ($69.95) is filled with the small bells ($1.95 each)
made by artisans from the Kutch desert. The bellmakers are justifiably famous - for they can
make a bell to suit any herd animal. Moreover they can tune the bell so that you can tell
your goats apart from the goats of the other shepherds.
