Araaz Ceramics: How about some nakshi kantha or jamdani motifs on your porcelain?

Araaz Ceramics have been recently making waves with fine quality porcelain and cutlery sets

Growing up, we have all seen a vast array of porcelain porcelain neatly put away in the cabinet and only taken out during special occasions such as Eid, birthdays, or whenever the house was brimming with guests.

But we rarely got to enjoy a meal or two, or casually sip some tea or coffee, from one of those ultra-special plates and cups. 

Our mothers always took extra care of those certain dinnerware - doing all the washing, drying, and safekeeping themselves. 

And God forbid if one of these porcelains had the misfortune to fall and break, all hell would break loose – just like that one member of the porcelain set!

However, the ceramics industry in Bangladesh has not yet experienced such crack. 

Araaz Ceramics also carries a range of solid coloured and floral teapots.
Araaz Ceramics also carries a range of solid coloured and floral teapots.

In fact, it is one of the rapidly growing industries in Bangladesh, which has been experiencing stable growth since the late 1950s. 

To experience success and make a name in the industry, many ceramics manufacturers have tapped into the industry since. While some gained success, many got driven out of the market due to fierce competition. 

Araaz Ceramics is one of the comparatively new names that have been making waves with fine quality porcelain porcelain and cutlery sets. 

And although they have existed in the market for the last 15 years with clothing and jewellery, their ceramics venture is the latest addition to their lineup.

"Araaz Ceramics is a small ceramic venture on our part that greatly values quality and designs of the products," said Sajjad Ali Sharif, the owner of Araaz Ceramics.

"To us, our clients always come first and we have always tried to cater to them in every possible way. And although we have clients all over the world, we cater to mostly locals in Bangladesh as we are based here," he continued.

"We mainly work with a few ceramic factories. We provide them designs and they create exclusive products for us which cannot be found elsewhere." 

Araaz carries a wide range of porcelain porcelain and one of their most exclusive dinnerware designs that include Nakshi Kantha and Jamdani motif, which is also very popular among expat Bangladeshis, shared Syed Masud Anower, Director Marketing, Araaz Ceramic.

Apart from themed porcelain, Araaz Ceramics also carries a range of solid coloured and floral dinnerware that not only look aesthetic but also complement the food served in them while lighting up breakfast, lunch, dinner or any mealtime tables they accompany. 

Speaking more about the business, Sharif said, "We bring in ceramic dinnerware of A-class porcelain. Our products cater to a niche market. We carry a range of porcelain such as dinner sets with traditional Bangali and other designs, tea sets, contemporary mugs, and children's dinnerware. We have very recently introduced oil burners to our product line as well."

In the small frame of time that Araaz Ceramics has existed, it has captured consumer markets both at home and abroad. 

The response has been so overwhelming that the owners are now opening a physical store at Gulshan-1. 

The shop was opened in the first week of July with a wide selection of the finest quality, premium, and exclusively designed porcelain dinnerware.

Most importantly, now you can present your mother with a beautiful porcelain dinner set and rightfully demand to eat your favourite dish served on one of the exclusively designed plates, or to sip a tea or coffee from a unique Nakshi Kantha or Jamdani themed cup.
