Espresso Cup in Reduced Ceramic - Stanislavs Vilums

Espresso Cup in Reduced Ceramic

Handmade Espresso Cup from the Stanislavs Vilums x Home Roast Ceramic Collection – A Small Work of Art for Great Moments

Imagine a quiet morning: You hold a warm, intense espresso in your hand, while the shimmering black-silver finish catches the light and the texture invites your fingers to glide over the surface. This unique handmade espresso cup from Latvian Stanislavs Vilums is not just a cup – it is a piece of living art that transforms every sip into a sensory ritual.

Created in the Cukrasāta workshop in Latvia’s peaceful landscape, each cup is shaped on the potter’s wheel and fired in a reduced flame in a wood-fired kiln. The result? A magical, deep black-silver shade with a natural patina that develops over time – and a subtle, authentic smoky scent reminiscent of new leather that slowly fades away.

Perfect for espresso, cortado, or macchiato: The compact size retains heat and concentrates the aroma, making every sip intense and unforgettable.
