Nikos

Here, the tradition dates back to ancient times.

Pots made on a small island in the Cyclades have always been shipped by boat throughout the Cyclades and as far as Athens.

Nikos and his family's artwork tells the story of the sea and the sun.

They have a touch of that gentle wildness that characterizes the island.

The men in the family have been potters for over a century.

The sets are hand-painted.

The workshop is located in the northern part of a small island in the Cyclades; it doesn't have an exact address, so some neighbors guide us to Nikos, who is in charge today.

With summer approaching, production is in full swing. The focus is on tableware, “best sellers,” and vacationers.

The rest of the year, Nikos takes his time creating pieces that are sold in Athens’s upscale neighborhoods.

The family's style: the perfect balance between perfection and imperfection, the simple beauty of designs, shapes, and colors, and a love of traditional cuisine.

Timeless—if not eternal.
