Fired in the furnace of Hipp’s homemade kiln, by chance, the traces of a human face emerge; each one unique yet belonging to the same species. Like the geological fingerprints of a forgotten tribe each of the series of twelve is a marker that will map a new path into the future as they are sold and begin to travel across borders…’
