Nanna Bayer – Extremely thin porcelain

Nanna Bayer is a distinguished porcelain craftwoman in Finland. She specialises in “neriage” porcelain, a method for making extremely thin, yet durable dishes. All items are lightweight, and a espresso cup weighs far less than the coffee held in the cup. The items look distinctly handmade — yet their quality is high, and thus there is no industrial feel.

Nanna Bayer shop in Fiskars

Her shop, located in the yellow brick buildings at the very centre of Fiskars village, is also her workshop and you can witness how the dishes get their forms. Please note that the shop is not open every day during low season. It’s always best to call beforehand.
