PAISIOS x SALTY BSTRDS
The Bastard Alliance
Christos cracked.
Not by accident but from stillness, from routine, from the weight of doing nothing.
That crack didn’t break him. It opened him.
Through it poured earth, salt, fire.
And from it, he shaped vessels. Not perfect, but purposeful.
Every ceramic he makes is a rebellion against the smooth and the safe — raw forms stitched with meaning, textured with nature’s wild fingerprints.
To seal the cracks, he didn’t hide them. He filled them with art.
And because art attracts the raw, he found Paisios — a silversmith who forges defiance into metal. Together, they crafted objects that aren’t just made. They’re felt.
This is not a collaboration.
This is a bastard alliance — between two artists who don’t create by the rules.
They create because they can’t do otherwise.
Seal of the Drowned
Forged in darkness and salt, this vessel carries the memory of those who never surfaced.
Its conical base balances like a ritual relic, while silver crusts cling to the mouth like sea foam frozen in time.
Iron rings pierce through the clay, anchoring it like a cursed artifact found beneath the waves.
A mark left by the sea — or a seal made to keep something in?
- High-temperature clay and 925 sterling silver.
Selected for their strength, contrast, and timeless raw beauty.
Crafted in ritual, kept in salt. Only one of each exists.
