Top-down ceramics collection

Index 01 / The Studio Shop

The collection,
in plain sight.

Plates, vases, soap dishes, citrus reamers - every piece made and glazed by hand in our studio by the Piran marina. Browse the current run; replenished only when each glaze comes back out of the kiln.

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.

"A lovely, cozy ceramics shop to find unique, handmade souvenirs — or to gift yourself. The artist is on site working and is super friendly. Just a half block in from the coast in Piran."
