CeramicArt

Our business started to develop in 1993, which back then was only a small family shop that sold goods to locals.

Our collections

Eventually Aljuta grew to a worldwide shipping company with professional employees and aspirations to share our production with the world.  Our everyday life consists of making ceramic products, mainly houses-candlesticks, but also bells and incense burner holders from scratch with raw materials that are gathered in Lithuania.

 

Our production is hand-made, therefore we can guarantee uniqueness and differentiality of all souvenirs!

How our products are made:

  • Step 1

    Firstly, we put raw clay into a  basic shape of the house.

  • Step 2

    Then using special tools and hand precision all windows, edges and protrusions are formed.

  • Step 3

    After that the house goes into a 900°C oven.

  • Step 4

    When the house has cooled, various color glazes are applied.

  • Step 5

    Lastly, the house is put in the oven once more at 1000°C. After that it is done!

Frequent questions

What are they used for?

Our souvenirs can be used just for decoration or as a functional piece - either for burning incense sticks for a smoking chimney effect or as a candle burner for light.

Are they safe to use with real candles?

Yes! Each house is made from heat-resistant ceramics. Just place a standard tealight candle inside, and it will gently light up the house through the windows.

How do I use incense with them?

You can either:

  • Insert a stick incense through a hole at the bottom or back of the house (depending on the model).
  • Let the smoke curl out of the chimney for a magical effect!

Are they REALLY handmade?

Yes! Each ceramic house goes through a process: making the clay shape, adding details to the shape, adding colors, adding details to the colors, and all of this by hand! They are handcrafted with care, meaning no two are exactly alike. Slight variations in glaze or texture are part of what makes each piece unique.

Are they fragile?

They are made from ceramic, meaning they won't break from just bumping them, but like any handmade item, they should be handled with care.
