About product
Pitcher with a narrow neck and handle, colloquially called a “cepek.” The narrow neck protects the access of warm air and keeps the liquid longer in a cool state. Made according to traditional models of ceramic production from the Gemer region. Handmade on a potter’s wheel from white clay. In the area below the neck, it is decorated with a painted banded motif, composed of lines and waves of various thicknesses, from dark brown and reddish-brown clay, interrupted by ornament in some parts. It is produced in various decorative variations. Inside is glazed with a transparent glaze, the neck and handle are glazed in green. The larger part of the vessel from the outside is unglazed.
He learned the craft of Slovak folk majolica in Modra, actively starting production in 1985
