The sip of tea is bliss for everyone and the tea served in Clay cups add-in different flavour. These clay cups are found around most parts of India. But the making and creation of the works can we seen in the Bhatti Village, near  Varanasi. These clay utensil, pots, flower vases, cups and vessels are made over a sniping base and the clay is moulded  with hands, they are the dried under the sun and are baked later on. But the clay art doesn’t end with the utensils. Families here are also involved in making clay idols of different gods and deities.
