I discovered these two ladies last year at the Salone where Diesel would serve their coffee with their cups and you could buy them afterwards. Smart idea but I didn’t take any with me and always regretted it.
This year they Alissa and Nienke seem to have grown a lot showcasing their own space at Ventura Lambrate at the Off-Salone with a working area where you could observe the whole process of making their beautiful marbled cups.
So, they manage to do about 20 pieces a day and can use every plaster mould like a 100 times until they have to do new ones. It is porcelain mixed with pigments and after a first firing they apply a transparent glaze which then goes to a second firing. Every piece is unique and you know how much I love this idea!
This year I haven’t I didn’t hesitate a second and got this beautiful cup with me!

Lovely experiment, I have just tried to mix different types of clays. Porcelain with black clay or with red one. But with coloured pigments, I haven´t tried….
Hi Gudy, I like the presentation. So nice with the wooden cabinet.
I’m looking forward to your Milan news. LG, Angela
What a treat to witness them making them there… and how interesting that you regretted not buying some last year… what a fantastic and inspirational find.
LOVE the one you bought.
I’m also looking forward to you sharing your news from Milan. Hope you had a good time x
Beautiful ceramics and I can see why you took one home with you. Also such a brilliant idea to serve and sell.. Looks like you had a great time in Milan, can’t wait to read your trend report. xx
Delft blue remixed. Very nice!
Love these – and love ceramics. Did pottery when I was a teen – always adored it. Perhaps I’ll join you in a workshop somewhere -someday xxx
Happy day sweet Gudy,
