Snack bowl set with tray white · Earth

In 2015, VAIDAVA CERAMICS embarked on a new path - creating design-led tableware with a focus on minimalism and subtle elegance. The result was the Earth collection, offering a contemporary take on traditional pottery while honoring craftsmanship and raw materials. A defining feature of the collection is the exposed exterior of red clay - which brings a natural warmth and tactile authenticity. The inner glaze tones are inspired by nature’s color palette, creating a harmonious balance between surface and substance. In 2017, the Earth collection was recognized as a finalist in the Latvian Design Awards, marking its place in the modern design landscape.

One of the materials we work with is high quality red clay, recognised for its distinctive colour caused by iron oxide. Valued by potters for generations, this clay is known for its strength, durability, and resistance to heat. Often associated with folk art and traditional craftsmanship due to its long history and cultural significance, red clay continues to inspire us. By learning from the past and our craftmanship, we transform this material into elegant, thoughtfully designed pieces made for everyday life.

Our technique has been passed down to us by our ancestors along with the appreciation of the art of pottery. Each piece is crafted by hand, resulting in unique and durable tableware, that’s unmatched by mass-produced alternatives.
