Bitter Cup (Urðarbrunnr), 2021
Yellow stoneware, iron oxide
16x16x8 cm

Bitter Cup is a divination puzzle based on an ancient ceramic tradition of magic vessels. The triple cup is filled with red wine or dark beer, which hides its internal structure: a series of secret pipes. The player meditates on the object and its imagery to try to figure out how to drink from it without spilling.
