Mati Mahaththaya - මැටි මහත්තයා

About Mr. Potter

Born from the timeless earth and shaped by a vision beyond convention, Mr. Potter is the official online home of Mati Mahaththaya — a Sri Lankan pottery brand redefining what clay can become.

The story began with Mr. Harshana Dissanayaka, a creative-minded entrepreneur who looked beyond boundaries. In a world where red clay pottery was long confined to a few traditional hands and often overlooked as a fading craft, Harshana saw something different — beauty with purpose. Without the privilege of a traditional pottery lineage, he immersed himself in the art, studied its soul, and reimagined it through years of research, dedication, and creativity.

Since founding Mati Mahaththaya in 2019, even amidst the challenges of a global pandemic, Harshana and his wife Hiruni have transformed humble clay into elegant expressions of life — blending artistry, sustainability, and meaningful beauty. Their shared vision celebrates not only craftsmanship but also the values of eco-friendliness, innovation, and emotional connection through every creation.

What began as a journey of admiration and discovery has now evolved into a movement — a revival of Sri Lankan pottery with global aspirations. With their own state-of-the-art pottery studio and factory, Mati Mahaththaya crafts high-quality, durable, and artfully designed products that embody modern sophistication while honoring timeless tradition.

Now, with the launch of Mr. Potter, the brand steps into a new era — bringing its authentic, beautifully crafted clay creations to every home in Sri Lanka and beyond.

Because at Mr. Potter, we believe pottery is not just a craft — it’s a conversation between earth, art, and the heart. A reminder that true beauty is both meaningful and sustainable.

Our Mission

We envision a world where pottery regains its rightful place — not merely as craft, but as living art that connects people to nature, culture, and the timeless elegance of handmade beauty.

I saw beyond the clay — a chance to mold happiness, craft beauty, and give life new form.
