“Sometimes being at peace is just a perfect cup of coffee. In your favorite handmade mug - that one you must drink from every morning - just because it fits perfectly in your hands. A moment for yourself, before the rush of the day starts.”

So that every day you look forward to that precious morning experience.

All my ceramics I make by hand in my studio in Weesp (Amsterdam), mainly on the potter's wheel. Inspired by nature, I often leave the outside of my work unglazed, so you can feel the texture of the clay - pure and earthy. Want to experience it in real life? You are welcome to visit my studio to see and shop the products in real life!

Customer reviews

"I fell in love with the color, shape and texture of Imre's ceramics right away. The quality combined with the thoughtful design make her cups and plates very special in our home. And of course, to know that there is one person behind all the work, putting all her heart, hands and creativity in each piece, adds something very personal and precious. It feels like even our morning coffee tastes better and our meals look more delicious! Thank you Imre, for creating this beautiful tableware!"
