Stereo
Porcelain shapes refer to 14th century “pot tiles” produced in Eastern Europe. They are a tribute to that moment in the history of pottery, when the craftsperson first imagined a form beyond the vessel. The only decoration here is a striped chiaroscuro created as a result of traces of the potter’s fingers clearly left on the material. Tiles named Stereo [from the gr. stereós ‚constituting a solid’] through their three-dimensional, plasticity and spatiality show the uniqueness of each throwing movement.
