While the body of this vessel is actually an echo of a previous form we have created, the fully integral handles are a direct reference to the traditional Mycenaean Kylix, we studied quite a few before we settled on this particular design.

This piece features our Smoke patina, a surface that has been selectively scorched with fire before brushing to remove the loose particulate and revealing the texture of the natural grain beneath. We then polish parts of the surface with a fine sandpaper before rinsing the piece in a natural lime wash that reacts with the Oak’s tannins to create a rich amber hue that intersperses the blackened surface.

The piece is then coated in a UV protected Danish oil and buffed with Renaissance wax before a thorough burnishing with a very stiff brush to create a rich textured surface. Finally any natural fissures and imperfections are celebrated through mending with waxed cotton stitch-work.

Product Care

These vessels have been finished with a UV protective danish oil as well as a very fine microcrystalline wax that’s then been buffed to give it a subtle polish.

I recommend cleaning and dusting your vessel with a stiff clean brush, (we tend to use a small nail brush or something of the sort) not only will this help to clean anything out of the textured grain but also serve to further buff the finish underneath. If absolutely necessary use a lint free damp cloth to rub the surface and then dry it off and buff it with a brush in the manner mentioned above.
