Light in the cup
Fine reliefs adorn Nika Stupica's utility tableware, which is so thin-walled that it is able to catch light. Her light-footed cups, bowls and plates of white porcelain are cast in plaster moulds and then decorated with coloured engobe dots, lines or carvings. Not only her fine tableware is captivating - her playful creations are also available as jewellery variants!
