About Dolni Studio
Years ago, ‘The Venus Of Dolni Vestonice’, a figurine of Mother Earth: the oldest piece of ceramic found on our planet, inspired us to create a confluence of ancient themes and modern-day requirements, and Dolni Studio was founded. We realized that this classic form of art will never lose its relevance, as it combines art with necessity.
Keeping that in mind, we started creating our own unique designs, which are an ode to the songs of clay that cradled the ancient civilization but kept its feet anchored in modern times.
Our products are a delicate fusion of rich aesthetics and a soulful personal vibe.
