10/960

The original purpose was to revitalize the tradition of pottery and combine it with modern design. Joint discussions and exchange of experience lasted over a year. Year of attempts and mistakes, during which local potters played the role of teachers and performers. They supported us with knowledge of the local clay and with producing prototypes designed by us. The dark grey colour is achieved in traditional kiln, where at the end of firing the access of O2 is reduced, the smoke goes in the pots and increases the tightness of vessel walls. Firing takes about 10h, temperature inside reaches 960˚C; This is where the name comes from. 100 years ago “smoked” pots were used by common people to cook one-dish meals based on groats and vegetables – products that are coming back nowadays. Clay pots are slightly porous, absorb and maintain moisture, which makes food tender and tasty. The 10/960 set combines tradition and modern need for healthy, slow food.

The ceramic set includes: a cup, a plate, a bowl, a pot for 2 people, a pot for a family of 4.
