This project is a tribute to ceramic objects. It incorporates antique clay fragments and anonymous contemporary vessels, all found locally. Basic Human needs for storing, cooking and eating led to the production of crockery that has basically remained almost the same for centuries. In an attempt to pay respect to this material, this project is a bridge between distant generations of designers and makers.
