Small bowl hand-thrown from clay collected locally from Ulmet hill near Horezu, Romania, where it’s been extracted carefully for hundreds of years, then shaped using a kick wheel.
Preserving ancient techniques passed down through generations, the artisans use colours from local ingredients. They are supported by Casa de Folklore, founded by designer Alice Munteanu.
The intricate swirling pattern, which makes each unique, is created using a tool made from a cow horn and feather, along with brushes and wire-tipped sticks. The outer is left unglazed for a rustic, earthy feel.
