By Volume - Ceramic Vessel Collection
A collection of ceramic drinking vessels that brings material, form, texture, and glaze into the drinking experience. By replacing conventional glassware with expressive ceramic forms, each vessel gives the drink a character of its own. No extra decoration is needed as the vessel itself becomes the garnish.
Slip casting / hand building / glaze development / metal soldering&forming
Cocktail glasses are designed to feel distinctive, but most achieve this through changes in silhouette while continuing to use the same material. What happens when a material different from glass becomes part of the drinking experience?
Why glass?
Neutrality It does not significantly alter the drink’s flavor or aroma.
Transparency Glass showcases the cocktail’s color, clarity, ice, and garnish.
Formability Glass can be shaped into thin, elegant, and highly varied silhouettes.
Why not ceramic?
Ceramic offers the neutrality and versatility of glass while creating a distinct sensory experience. Instead of relying on transparency, its color, texture, glaze, and opacity give the vessel itself a stronger visual presence.
A Permanent Garnish
Glass relies on garnishes for visual appeal. With ceramic, the decoration becomes permanent.
