Cups

Cup is a kind of archetype of simplicity in ceramics. As simple as they are, cups offer a wide playground area for the potter. Diversity of forms and unpredictable glaze appearance is what interests me.

Playing is the approach that offers pleasure to both – the potter and the user. Besides being pleasant to drink from or hold it in a hand, a cup may as well visually captivate the viewer.

These cups were inspired by, and reflect man’s nature in a way. Like with a man, it is their inner shaped surface and glaze story that gives them character and makes them interesting and unique. The cup’s simple, smooth outer shape is inviting to hold it gently and while nesting cozily in a harmony with the shape of palm it interacts with the one holding it.
