Product Description
Product Description
A handmade terracotta drinking cup inspired by the Viking Age find from grave 772 at Birka, Sweden.
Shaped entirely by hand using the pinching technique, this ceramic cup is made without a potter’s wheel. Its rounded body and gently irregular rim give it a rustic character rooted in historical pottery.
The exterior is darkened through firing with linseed oil, creating a black surface with glimpses of the warm terracotta beneath. Inside, a clear glaze is cooled rapidly to create a fine crackle pattern, giving the surface an aged appearance.
Handmade in Stockholm from Swedish terracotta and fired using renewable electricity. Each cup has individual variations in shape, colour and finish.
