Poligon ceramics

Porcelain tableware at a low resolution. Instead of smooth shapes, this pottery is build up out of polygons. Every product is unique and handmade, so it will be a great eye-catcher in a modern interior. It has a very surprising shape, and holds firmly. Made in high quality glazed porcelain, for a long lifetime at a daily use.
The color on the exterior is high gloss white to emphasize the polygons. Combined with the bright inside colors, this will result in great contrast. Choice of various colors, to combine your own colorful set: Emerald Green, Cobalt Blue and Bright Orange.

The Poligon collection consists of five pieces. There is a bowl, which is ideal to eat soup, noodles or breakfast. Or perfect to store your favorite candy. Secondly an espresso cup, which is good for 100ml of your strong coffee. Then, I also made a conventional cup. straightforward and unique in design. Special item is a thermo cup, which contains a cavity inside, so the inside and outside are not in contact. This results in that the heat will not be transferred to the outside. Great to hold a hot cup of tea or coffee. Finally, to complete the collection, I created a vase. Same style in polygons, and great fit.

Process
Products are slib-casted from liquid clay, in plaster molds. Then the cups are fired around 940 degrees. After that the pieces will be dipped in color and transparent glaze. The second fire goes up to 1240 degrees. The the pieces are almost finished and the logo will be placed afterwards, to stain on the glaze. The whole process is done in my studio in Rotterdam, which is located in an old school building.
