A replica of a Vipperrow-ware vessel of Slavic provenance. We based this cup on finds from the Viking Age trading town of Birka, Sweden. Its simple parallel lines are at once ancient and modern. The only artistic license we took was to glaze the inside with our midnight glaze to make it easier to drink frothy beverages from.
From Birka grave numbers Bj 138 and Bj 914
Holds around 16 fl oz
About 4.5 in tall
Around 3.25 in diameter at the rim
We hand make every item, so there may be some small variations in size, decoration and glazing.
Shipping will be calculated at checkout.
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.
Blue black like the night sky, with flecks of lighter gray. This glaze reminds us of stargazing on hot July nights.
