Striped Birka Cup

This vessel is based on a find from Birka, a Viking Age trading town in 10th century Sweden. Know as Vipperrow ware, the shape and decoration was common for a few centuries across Poland, the Czech Republic, Germany and Southern Scandinavia. While the original was unglazed, low-fired coarse ceramic ware, ours is made of dark stoneware, fired to 2200 Fahrenheit and glazed inside – making it perfect for your wine or morning coffee.

Our glazes

We finish the interiors of our vessels with a variety of food and microwave-safe glazes. Each item is handmade and kiln fired, which leads to some beautiful variations between batches. The examples below will give you a good idea of what your piece will look like.

Turkish Blue

Inspired by the streets of Istanbul, this cerulean blue ranges from an oceany azure to a dark sky blue.

Jade

A stunning blue-green variegated glaze. It features a high-shine lacquer finish.

Midnight

Blue black like the night sky, with flecks of lighter gray. This glaze reminds us of stargazing on hot July nights.

Juniper

Forest green with flecks of blue and amber, we named this glaze after our favorite conifer – and gin aromatic.
