Cappuccino Cup - Handmade Ceramics from Stanislavs Vilums

Cappuccino Cup – Handmade Balance in Black and Silver

Find calm in your coffee break with a cup that feels as unique as it looks. This cappuccino cup from the Stanislavs Vilums x BloomVik collection is made for those who appreciate the perfect balance between intense espresso and creamy milk foam. Each piece is a work of "tamed nature," shaped by masterful hands in Latvia.

Through a rare reduction firing in a wood-fired kiln, the cup achieves its distinctive iridescent black-silver finish. It is not a glaze but a transformation of the clay itself, drawing metals to the surface. The result is a lively texture that develops a personal patina the more you use it, making every cup an individual work of art.

"A cappuccino is about harmony. This cup complements the coffee’s richness with its organic weight and thick walls that keep the heat exactly where it should be."

Why this cup will elevate your coffee experience:

• Hand-thrown masterpiece: No industrial machines. Each cup is thrown on a foot-powered wheel and bears the marks of Stanislavs Vilums’ precision and the unpredictable dance of fire.
• Optimal temperature control: The heavy ceramic ensures your cappuccino or flat white stays at the right temperature from the first to the last sip.
• Natural finish: The exterior is unglazed and saturated with edible olive oil. This provides a tactile, secure grip and a silky surface that subtly smells of smoke and new leather upon receipt.
• The perfect size (150 ml): Sized precisely for the coffee enthusiast who prefers an authentic cappuccino volume where the coffee’s character isn’t drowned in milk.
• Culture in your hands: By choosing this cup, you support a centuries-old Latvian craft tradition that Stanislavs Vilums has perfected since 1990.

The artist behind the fire: Stanislavs Vilums

Stanislavs Vilums (b. 1968) works from his studio, Cukrasāta, in the heart of Latvia. As a trained ceramic artist and master of folk craft, he is one of the few who masters the complex reduction firing. His works are exhibited internationally, but their true soul is found in everyday rituals.

Technical Specifications

Care and Maintenance

Since the cup is a living natural product treated with oil, it should be handled with respect:

1. Hand wash: We always recommend hand washing with warm water and mild soap to preserve the patina.
2. Dishwasher: Can be used at low temperatures, but be aware that the finish may become dull over time.
3. Refresh: If the exterior feels dry after many washes, you can easily restore its glow by polishing it with a single drop of regular cooking oil.

Limited edition – Genuine rarity

Production is limited by the kiln’s capacity and the artist’s time. Each firing is unique, and we receive only a few pieces at a time.
