Spinning Top
Inaiyan · Traditional Lacquerware Toy · GI Certified Karnataka Craft
HANDCRAFTED
Hand-turned on a foot-driven lathe, coloured with vegetable dyes, and polished by the steady hands of a Channapatna master — this spinning top is 200 years of Indian craft tradition, brought alive in wood and colour.
What Makes It Exceptional
|
Hale wood — nature's finest Turned from Wrightia tinctoria — a sustainably sourced, lightweight wood that gives Channapatna toys their signature warmth, smoothness, and satisfying spin. |
Vegetable dye lacquer finish Coloured exclusively with natural vegetable-based dyes and lacquer. Zero synthetic chemicals — completely child-safe, even for the smallest hands. |
|
Foot-lathe turned by hand Shaped on a traditional foot-operated lathe — the very same technique used by Channapatna craftspeople since the 18th century under Tipu Sultan's patronage. |
One artisan, one piece Every top is made start-to-finish by a single Gombegala master craftsperson. No two pieces are perfectly identical — each carries its maker's distinct touch. |
Colours & Design

COLOUR PALETTE
Forest Green · Ivory · Gold · Ebony The classic Channapatna colour combination — deep forest green base, golden yellow centre disc, ivory-white inner cup, and ebony black bands. All derived from natural vegetable dyes. |
DESIGN DETAIL
Sculptural & Playful Form The top features a wide oval base disc, a cylindrical body with lacquer rings, and a small green marble-ball cap — a silhouette that is as beautiful at rest as it is mesmerising in motion. |

Care Instructions
|
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after handling. Do not use water or chemical cleaners directly on the surface. Keep away from prolonged moisture, rain, and direct sunlight to preserve the lacquer finish. Occasional light oiling with food-safe mineral oil nourishes the wood and enhances the colour depth. Natural grain variation and slight colour differences between pieces are marks of authentic handcraft — not defects. |
