Our Story

Welcome to KilnShelf —
Built for Potters

Since 1988, Abref has been a trusted name in kiln furniture. What started as a mission to free the Indian ceramic industry from expensive imports has grown into one of the world’s most reliable sources of high-performance cordierite kiln shelves and furniture — now made especially for studio potters like you.

We understand what matters in a pottery studio:

1) Shelves that survive hundreds of firings without warping.

2) Even heat distribution for perfect glaze results.

3) Lightweight yet strong pieces that are easy to handle.

4) True thermal shock resistance so you can fire faster and cooler without cracks.

That’s why we specialise in Cordierite (2MgO·2Al₂O₃·5SiO₂) — the gold-standard material for pottery kiln shelves. It is the most cost-effective, longest-lasting choice for cone 6 to cone 10 firings, whether you make functional ware, sculptures, or one-of-a-kind pieces.
