Frost Pair of Pasta Plates — Green and Pink

Frost

Frost, Swedish for frost, has a soft matte texture that is neither rough nor slippery-smooth.
Released five years after Våg, which was created in 2012, this porcelain series began with the aim of developing practical, everyday standards for POTPURRI.

Porcelain does not absorb water and stays strong even when shaped into thin walls.
The starting points were practical: pieces should be easy to hold and serve from, and should stack well.

Keeping the walls thin through firing took considerable work.
Colour and texture posed a separate challenge.
The makers used different colours inside and out, aiming for the look of a thin layer of ice.

Glazes with different expansion rates can craze or crack when applied to opposite sides.
The pieces still had to stand up to everyday use.
The makers fired glazes with matching expansion rates on both sides, then applied the contrasting surface texture by sandblasting.

The porcelain is fired at 1,330°C and finished with soft colours and texture.

The coffee cup, mug and teapot have glossy interiors for tea or coffee. On the bowls and plates, the underside is glossy.
