Category: Wms&Co.

These stoneware vessels begin with a simple gesture—tracing paper cup templates by hand. What emerges transcends their humble inspiration, becoming sculptural forms that move seamlessly from desk to kitchen counter.

Each piece captures the essential geometry of disposable culture, then transforms it into something enduring. The hand-wash finish preserves traces of their making, while their organic silhouettes find natural harmony whether holding pencils or fresh herbs.

Made in Paris, they embody sophisticated restraint—where throwaway forms find permanent grace through the ceramist's careful hand.

Lorraine Grouvel, the Franco-Canadian ceramist behind Apollonie Céramique, began her journey with clay in 2014. Now based in Paris, she crafts exquisite stoneware and porcelain creations that embody a universe of sobering fragility and honest expression. We are the only stockist of these lyrical pieces in the US. See our entire collection here.

I wasn’t sure how a stoneware object inspired by paper cups would look in person, but the hand-traced rim detail gives it this quiet, organic elegance. It’s surprisingly heavy and balanced, so it stays put on my desk while holding pens and clips without tipping. This is the kind of piece that makes

Lily ★★★★★

The hand-traced paper cup shape is what got me, and up close the stoneware has this subtle unevenness that makes it feel like a real artist's piece rather than something mass-produced. It sits on my desk holding pens and paperclips, and every time I glance over it makes me smile. Exactly the kind of

David L. ★★★★★

It’s rare that a desk object makes me stop and just look at it, but these stoneware pieces do exactly that. The hand-traced paper cup lines give them a soft, organic feel that’s totally unexpected in everyday desk clutter.
