DUSK

Dusk is a goblet-shaped vessel intended for burning incense. Its form refers to the late linear pottery from Pomerania region. It is made of two bowls combined together, which allows the goblet to be used on both sides. 

The goblet is made of chamotte clay and fired using the raku technique, i.e. burning in a live fire. To achieve a distinctive effect on the surface, I use materials such as flowers, nut shells or precious metal filings. Thanks to this, each vessel has a unique effect and character.

 

In addition to burning herbs, sage or palo santo, the object can also be used as a vessel for storing small items such as jewelry.
