Contemporary Design
This set of four matte white glazed cups designed by R.EH Germany is a unique ceramic piece that is hand-thrown by a family-run business in South Germany.
As the R.EH team notes, there is an inherent sense of humanity in handmade objects; they offer a direct link between skilled makers and end users. While the act of making enriches the life of the artisan, using handmade ceramics in everyday life also enriches the life of the user.
The decorative speckled effect of each ceramic piece is created by natural iron pyrite particles in the clay. During the process, the iron pyrite converts to its metallic form and melts. The nature of the speckled effect depends on the size of the particles, the distribution of sizes, their abundance, the color of the clay and the degree to which they melt. The characteristics of the glaze on the ware e.g. degree of matteness, color, thickness of application, the way it interacts with the iron, has an effect on the appearance. Therefore each piece has a very unique character and slight deviation in size is possible due to the handmade quality.
