Black pottery from Latvia

Wednesday, 5 October 2011


I've a soft spot for for all things ceramic and when I saw this brand new Etsy shop I knew it had to be shared with you on this blog. Since Līga and Krists come from the same region as me it's also a great opportunity to write another post in the random Local Treat series, so without farther ado enjoy the beauties from TePottery!


No glazes or colouring is used and the black surface with a little metalic shine is the result of firing in a woodfired kiln. The final stage involves closing the kiln and letting all the oxigen to burn out. At then the magic happens - the clay turns black. It's one of the oldest methods of clay treatment.


The clay comes from the local fields and is turned into pots and plates like thousands of years ago - only by hands, no potter's wheel or molds have been empoyed. Just clay, hands and fire. Yet it's a time consuming process and it takes at least a month to finish each piece.

For more finished pottery and its creation visit TePottery on Etsy and Flickr.

Etsians from Latvia

Wednesday, 4 May 2011

4th of May we celebrate the renewal of our independence and this is a great reason to window shop locally today. Here's a little eclectic collection from Latvia for you to enjoy.

Too sweet not to include here. Red earrings with white bear by fineDollyLolly:


I love the story this picture tells. Fine art photograph - Black swan baby 8x8 by gintta:


Striped table? I have soft spot for that. Pure linen napkins, placemats, set of 4, orange stripes by magdalinenHome:


A touch of sweet nostalgia. When I was little I thought that almost every home had cups similar to these. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Four vintage porcelain cups (made in Riga Porcelain Factory) from sovietvintage:

It's oh so quiet
