This ceramic vase, named "Svoja" which translates as Own, is coloured copper-gold on the outside and black on the inside. It is shaped as two confronted conical shapes with flattened tops and the uneven surface has been treated to achieve a coarse texture. The contrast of the inner and outer shell make this vase timeless and elegant.

Ceramics from the heart
- • Emilija has followed in the footsteps of her great-grandfather and grandfather
- • For her, ceramics must be both functional and beautiful
- • She is inspired by lovely things, whatever they may be
The craft of pottery has run in Emilija Beguš’ family for a century. Her great-grandfather and grandfather were both potters and Emilija decided to follow in their footsteps. Her grandfather was her first teacher, but – unlike her ancestors – she enrolled in the University and completed an MA in Ceramic art. “I grew up in a home where traditional pottery was being made for decades,” says Emilija. She never sat behind the wheel until she turned 20, even though she had watched it spin all her life. It seems she was destined for it, however, because she fell instantly in love when she finally gave it a try. Today, Emilija Beguš has her own studio where she creates gorgeous pieces inspired by nature, people, art and everything that’s beautiful.

Erozija
Drenched in black inside and out, this rounded ceramic vase is enriched with a specific texture throughout the outer shell. The surface effect was made by using a sharp tool and shaving off parts of clay from the basic form, and it’s integral to the object. The name relates to the idea of Erosion.

Ritam
Glazed in black throughout, this ceramic vase is shaped as two confronted cones with flattened tops, joined together at the bottom. The texture of the surface was made by removing parts of clay with a sharp tool, thus creating a certain flow to it, and it alternates with smooth, intact outer shell of the piece, reflecting the name which translates as "Rhythm".
