The square-shaped handmade cups resemble small architectural sculptures, blending functionality and art. Their straight, sharp lines and unexpected angles immediately catch the eye, challenging traditional shapes. The surface is lively and expressive — sometimes smoothly glazed, sometimes rough like stone. Every imperfection tells the story of a hand’s touch and craftsmanship.
The most distinctive feature of these cups is their unusual flat handles. They look like abstract objects, as if cut from metal or ceramic sheets — thin, sturdy, and pierced with unexpected cavities. Each handle has two differently shaped holes — one elegantly round, the other sharp like a triangle or irregular like a stone chip. These openings are more than decorative; they add lightness and balance between practicality and aesthetics.
These cups are more than vessels for drinking. They speak of individuality, courage and experimentation. They blend the simplicity of everyday life with the unexpectedness of art, making every sip like a touch of a unique story.
