This wheel thrown cup was handcrafted from brown earthenware clay. The interior of the cup is burnished, giving the surface a shiny appearance, while the outside is matt. The cup was 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. For Ieva Paukštytė, the priority when using this technique is to find a balance between shape and surface textures.
