Alaya Artistry X Olee Maatee

Olee Maatee was born in Konkan, an initiative of CREDAR, supported by the Pitre Foundation. With a quiet intention: to empower local artisans and honour inherited craft. In the hands of Bharati Pitre, sculptor and mentor, that intention found form.

Here, nothing is hurried. Papier mâché and ceramic are shaped through patience and touch… layered, observed, and allowed to become.


Texture speaks. Materials carry memory.


Earthy hues and organic silhouettes hold the rhythm of everyday life.

Through vessels, collectables, totem poles, and sculptures, tradition is gently reinterpreted and anchored in legacy, yet seen through a contemporary lens.

From soil to artisan.
From heritage to form.
From earth to art.

Placed in the space of your choice, its curves begin to shift…

Revealing depth, texture, and form.

Each piece carries a softness that settles quietly into the room.

Each curve holds the warmth of touch. Each surface remembers the patience that shaped it. Shaped slowly,
meant not just to be seen, but to be lived with.

Olee Maatee pieces are handcrafted to order and require approximately 45–60 days for shipping. Variations in colour, texture, and form are part of the natural character of each piece, making every work unique.

Caring for Your Olee Maatee Ceramic Collection

Crafted by hand. Shaped by fire. Each Olee Maatee ceramic piece carries the subtle variations and textures that make it one of a kind. Thoughtful care preserves strength, finish, and artistry
for years to come.

Display & Handling

  • Place on stable, level surfaces to prevent tipping or adding stress to the base.
  •  Avoid positioning near extreme heat sources or in areas with rapid temperature fluctuations.
  • Lift and move pieces with both hands, supporting the base—never the rim, edges, or delicate protrusions.
  • Keep away from high-movement areas where accidental impact may occur.

Cleaning & Maintenance

  • Dust regularly using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
  • Wipe gently with a damp cloth and mild soap to deep clean. Dry immediately with a soft towel.
  • Avoid abrasive scrubbers, harsh chemicals, or acidic cleaners that may damage the glaze or surface finish.
  • Do not use high-pressure water or soak unless explicitly specified for functional ware.
  • Inspect periodically for hairline cracks or surface wear and tear.

Storage & Transport

  • Wrap each piece individually in soft cloth or bubble wrap.
  • Use padding between items to prevent contact during storage.
  • Store in a dry, temperate environment.
  • Transport upright and cushioned securely to avoid vibration damage.
