The collection
Four cups, four words
Roughly 250 ml — the right size for a whisked matcha, a pour-over, or an evening tea. Tap or hover a cup to turn it over: the face, the base, and the words brushed inside.

All four cups, gathered in a hand-finished linen box — ready to give.
The first firing
Be among the very first
Luvano opens with a single inaugural firing — one hundred numbered pieces, thrown, glazed and lettered by hand in Zürich. Reserving holds your place; nothing is due now, and the firing closes once the kiln is full.

Provenance
Made in Zürich, Switzerland — where precision is a way of life and a slow morning is taken seriously.
Luvano is a small studio practice on the edge of the old town. We keep runs short and seconds honest, and we'd rather fire a few good cups than a great many quick ones.
