About the artist Stanislavs Vilums

Born in 1968 in the Rēzekne region, Latvia, Stanislavs Vilums has dedicated his life to the art of ceramics. Trained as an art ceramics producer and awarded the title of master in folk crafts (TDM) in 2000, he is a pioneer in reduced firing. Since 1990, he has shaped his works on the potter's wheel and fired them with live fire, without industrial technologies. His creations have been exhibited in countries such as Latvia, Norway, Germany, and Australia and adorn private collections worldwide. As a co-founder of "Pūdnīku skūla" and a member of "Rēzeknes apriņķa pūdnīki," Stanislavs has contributed to preserving and developing Latvian ceramic art.

Confectionery – Where tradition becomes art

In the heart of Latvia's countryside lies Cukrasáta, the workshop of Stanislavs and his wife Solvita, where ancient ceramic traditions are brought to life. Here, each cup is shaped either by hand-building or on the potter's wheel and fired in a wood-fired kiln. The unique reduction process creates the cups' characteristic black-silver finish, where the unpredictable dance of the fire adds life and depth. The result is a cup that is not just a utilitarian object but a piece of art with soul.

A cup with character

Each cup carries a subtle smoky aroma from the roasting, which some compare to freshly milked milk or new leather. This scent gradually fades with use and washing but adds an authentic dimension. The unglazed surface absorbs aromas from coffee, tea, or for example apples over time, making each cup a personal companion that develops its own story.

Maintenance

To preserve the unique qualities of the cups, we recommend hand washing. The cups are treated with edible olive oil, which makes them water-repellent and easy to maintain. A dishwasher can be used at low temperatures, but high temperatures may over time remove the natural protective layer.
