Bowl with lid guculia.tini

Limited collection of hand-made black ceramics Guculia.Tini by designer Danuta Krill. Each item is made with a unique, almost extinct pottery technique that has survived only in one region of western Ukraine (Gavarechchyna). Black “smoked” pottery is fired in a real wood-fired oven, as it was more than 100 years ago. Smoke seeps into the clay, oxidizing the material. Thus, the surface is painted black. Today, only a few masters in Ukraine practice the black ceramics technique. Thanks to collaboration with a modern designer, it was possible to preserve the old technique and give it new forms.
