FEATURES
Many of our designs are finished by hand, this may lead to irregularities and is considered a part of the uniqueness of each piece.
COLLECTION
Uovo Uovo, from the Catharina Bossaert is, first and foremost, an egg cup for two. It consists of two stacked shapes, which form a robust terracotta or concrete block on the outside. On the glazed interior, the imprint of an egg is revealed. ‘It is meant to be a game between the fragile emptiness and the clunky, clay form,’ says Bossaert. ‘I always look for contrasts and tension, such as unexpected combinations of materials, textures and shapes that inspire me.

STONEWARE
Stoneware is a widely used material for tableware. Given the manual work involved in our production process, small differences in colour and irregularities often appear in the glaze. In our opinion, these imperfections contribute to the unique appearance of the stoneware. Every pot is different.
Our stoneware can be cleaned in the dishwasher. We recommend the use of regular washing tablets (and not 3-in-1 tablets) and a temperature of up to 65°C. Anti-scale salts (such as regeneration salt) and excessive temperatures damage the glaze.
Do not place the tableware too close to each other in the dishwasher to avoid minor vibration and collision damage that often leads to the beginning of larger breakage. We also recommend that stoneware and metal (such as pans and cutlery) be kept separate in the machine.
Indeed, dark scratches may appear on the stoneware after contact with metal. For the maintenance of decorative objects made from stoneware, we recommend that you dust them with a damp cloth.
