About Maria Cepissakova (Munich, Germany)
Maria Cepissakova’s ceramic work is grounded in experimentation. She deliberately moves beyond traditional expectations—questioning not just how ceramics are made, but what they can become when the material is pushed to its limits.
In her process, Maria combines different clay bodies, often introducing glass and unconventional firing techniques to create tension, interaction, and surprise. Her work embraces unpredictability, allowing cracks, fusions, and textures to emerge naturally—letting the material speak its own language.
Whether forming large wall-based installations, sculptural objects, or intimate pieces of jewelry, Maria brings together art, craft, and curiosity in equal measure. Her work is at once tactile and conceptual—refined yet raw.
The teapot is very elegant and precisely made. Pour is crystal smooth and very satisfying. The lid holds by itself while pouring which is great with a side handle. Only downsides : the artist's seal is so small it's almost unreadable if you don't know what it is, and the lid isn't completely water sealed.
Great overall
Great quality half-handmade Zisha pot. Lid fit is very good. Water lock. Pouring line is exquisite for a pot this size. The price is among the best that could be found in EU. 100% recommend.
Uneven,subtle glaze. The dented spots are particulary cool, since they adjust the cup very much to the hand. The combination of the white glaze with unglazed red clay parts reminds me positevly of 1970s aestetics.
