Top-down ceramics collection

Index 01 / The Studio Shop

Sold out,
down to the last fish.

Every piece from this summer's batches has found a home somewhere in the world. The wheel is already turning for the next one: browse the collection, reserve what you love, and Nika will email you the date the kiln opens. Free, non-binding, first come first served.

Index 02 · The catalog

Seven forms.
One studio.

Every piece is made by hand in Piran by Nika - no factory, no outsourcing. Vessels are pulled on the wheel; the platters and dishes are formed by hand at the bench. Each glaze is named for somewhere on the coast. Tap a colour to see it on the piece.
