These cups are handcrafted by assembling small pieces of earthenware clay, giving the object a symmetrical shape. They are then fired using the black ceramics firing method, an old wood firing technique based on the reduction process, which gives the cups a beautiful metallic black colour. The final colour is always unpredictable; sometimes it has rainbow-like stains on it.
