How selling pottery and planters works on JADUZ

Every maker follows the same path from order to money:

An order comes in
You accept and pack it
Pathao picks it up
The buyer pays cash
Your earning reaches your wallet
Withdraw to bKash, Nagad or bank

Listing, photos and packing

Measure after firing, because clay shrinks in the kiln: height, widest diameter and mouth for vessels, capacity in ml or litres by actually filling it, and the weight, because clay is heavier than buyers expect.
For planters, give the top opening as an inside diameter, which buyers match to their nursery pot, plus the base width and the empty weight. Say whether there's a drainage hole and a saucer, and write "plant not included" if a photo shows one.
Say how it was shaped (wheel-thrown, hand-built, coiled, pinched or moulded) and fired (wood or gas kiln, or open firing), and whether it's unglazed, glazed inside or out, slipped, burnished or painted after firing. Moulded pieces are welcome when they're called moulded.
Say a pot holds water only after you've filled it and left it a day on a dry surface. Never write "food-safe", "lead-free", "non-toxic" or "microwave-safe" unless you know the glaze, and make no health claims for clay.
If you haven't tested a piece outdoors, write "for indoor or covered balcony use", never "weatherproof". Mention that unglazed terracotta can mark a floor without a saucer and that paint applied after firing may fade.
Photograph in daylight from the front, the side, the base and the inside, with a hand or a plant for scale. Show and explain normal kiln marks; a real crack is a defect, so don't list that piece as perfect.
Wrap each piece separately and fill a hollow pot with soft material so it can't collapse, then use bubble wrap, a box padded on every side and a second box marked "fragile". Photograph each sealed, labelled parcel before handover.
JADUZ accepts pottery made by you or in your own workshop, including a family workshop. Factory ceramics, plastic pots and pots bought from other potters to resell are refused, because they aren't your handwork.

Good to know

Where can I sell pottery online in Bangladesh?

Bangladeshi potters sell online through their own Facebook or Instagram page, marketplaces such as Daraz, pottery shops such as Bangla Matti that source from potters, and JADUZ, a curated marketplace for handmade work. On JADUZ, joining and listing are free, Pathao collects each sold piece from your door, and the buyer pays cash on delivery.

Clay pots are heavy and break. Can I still sell them online?

Yes. The buyer checks the pot in front of the Pathao rider before paying; if it's broken, the buyer hands the parcel back to the rider and it comes back to your pickup address. To prevent it, wrap each pot separately, fill hollow pots with soft material, pad a double box on every side, and give the weight in the listing.

I'm from a potter family. Can we sell our pottery on JADUZ without a Dhaka showroom?

Yes. Pottery made in your own or your family's workshop can be listed on JADUZ, and Pathao collects each sold piece from your door, so you don't need to hire a truck to Dhaka. One Rajshahi maker said hiring a pickup to deliver to Dhaka showrooms costs ৳10,000–৳12,000 (Prothom Alo, April 2026).

Can I call my clay cups or plates food-safe?

Only if you know the glaze is made for food use and the piece was fired as that glaze requires. If you painted it after firing or don't know the glaze, write "for decoration only" or "not tested for food use". Traditional unglazed cooking pots can be described by their use, without safety claims.

Can I sell shokher hari, tepa putul or clay showpieces?

Yes. Shokher hari, the painted pots that carry fruit and sweets at weddings (Banglapedia), tepa putul and other clay pieces you make can be listed on JADUZ. Say whether the paint went on after firing, which makes the piece decorative and not washable, and give the size and weight.

What price should I put on a painted clay planter?

Start from your clay, firing, paint and hours, then compare: in Dhaka, small clay tubs sold for ৳100–৳300 and designed ones for ৳500–৳700 (Prothom Alo, October 2025), and a regular 18-inch terracotta pot cost ৳250 at sidewalk stalls (The Daily Star, October 2024). On JADUZ you set your own price, and every order shows your earning before you accept it.
