Made in Quebec City in the 70s, these stoneware goblets bear the mark of the era’s fascination with earthbound, ancient forms. Each pedestal cup is wheel-thrown in a warm, speckled stoneware and carved with bold, abstracted human shapes that echo the visual language of cave paintings, First Nations motifs, and folk art symbolism.
The handwork is deliberate yet unrefined, lending the pieces an immediacy that feels both timeless and tactile. Heavy in the hand and rich in texture, they bridge utility and art, standing as artifacts of Canada’s 1970s studio pottery movement.
