Design story
Abstract ceramic forms became a Nordic design-store staple in the 2010s — they nod to mid-century studio pottery while feeling current. The eye motif specifically traces through Mediterranean and apotropaic decorative traditions (the evil-eye symbol), but the abstract handling here is closer to a modernist sculptural form than a folk amulet.
Materials & craftsmanship
Hand-glazed ceramic with a matte or satin finish (variant-dependent). Felt pads on the base to protect surfaces.

Frequently asked questions
Is each one hand-glazed?
Yes — subtle variations in glaze pooling and surface texture are expected and add character.
Is the eye motif religious?
The abstract handling reads as design rather than amulet. Cultural references include the Mediterranean evil-eye, but the form here is intentionally non-literal.
Will the glaze chip?
Like any ceramic, hard impacts can chip. Handle gently and place where it won't be knocked.
Does it work outdoors?
Indoor only — ceramic glazes can degrade in freeze-thaw cycles.
Is it heavy?
About 500 grams — substantial but easy to handle.
Can I stack books or other items against it?
Yes — felt base means it won't scratch wood or stone shelves.
