Kopper med hank – når design og håndværk mødes
Hanken på en kop er ofte prikken over i’et. Nogle kopper kalder på en hank – ikke kun fordi den er praktisk, men fordi den fuldender koppens form og udtryk.
I håndlavet keramik er hanken ofte en krævende del af processen. Hvis koppen bliver støbt, hvor flydende ler hældes i en gipsform, bliver hanken som regel sat på efter koppen er taget ud af formen og inden brænding.
Ved hånddrejede kopper bliver hanken typisk formet og sat på efter keramikeren har drejet koppen på drejebænken. Det kræver præcision og erfaring at få hank og kop til at arbejde smukt sammen.
Hos unika:k finder du håndlavede keramikkopper og krus med hank fra udvalgte keramikere – skabt med fokus på både funktion, komfort og smukt design.
Mugs with handles – created for hot drinks
At unika:k, you'll find handmade ceramic cups and mugs with handles – created for coffee, tea, and cozy breaks. The handle provides a comfortable grip and makes the cup extra pleasant to hold, especially for hot drinks like tea.
If you primarily drink tea, we often recommend a cup with a handle. Tea is usually hotter than coffee, and therefore it's nice to be able to hold the handle rather than directly on the cup.
All cups are created by skilled ceramists with an eye for both form and function – ceramics made to be used and enjoyed every day.
