Both eye-catching and imposing it is the ornamental urns that have the strongest link with the islands Minoan tradition, as it is these items that replicate the large storage pots of ancient Greece.

With the production method untouched by change, each item is individually crafted on a wooden wheel using the ‘coil’ method, a rare skill requiring a high level of experience. Made in 7 inch stages, which are left to dry prior to adding another coil of clay, production is a pain staking process taking up to 5 days to complete. Crete is in fact the only island where large clay pots are still made using this traditional method.
