The ceramic tableware series "Niara" is made using two glazing techniques: on the upper or inner surfaces of the pieces, color shades flow over a black background. In contrast, the outer or bottom surfaces are striking with a matte black glaze that is sprinkled with glossy black speckles. The entire "Niara" series is microwave and dishwasher safe. The colors were applied by hand, which may result in minimal irregularities in the glaze, small inclusions, and slight color variations.
