Thors comment:
"First of all I have to praise this fantastic clay and its wonderful color. Unfortunately this is the last of my stock and since the local deposit is gone , dug up, there will be no more large pots of this natural clay from Fyle in the province of Skåne. I will miss it. I wanted the decoration to be simple and sweeping, with a brush, black oxide, porcelain grinding and a some red engobe I tried to vision the blossoms of the cherry tree."

THOR ABOUT THE EDITION - Ruins & Cherry Blossoms
"In early April, I made a pilgrimage walk between the monastery ruins in Varnhem all the way to the monastery in Gudhem. The path was lined with traces of my ancestors. The 5,000-year-old burial grounds at Ekornavallen, King Inge the Elder's 1,000-year-old grave at Hånger, the battlefields at Faris and the grassy ruins of the city of Sätuna. The raven followed me, but so did also the exuberant cherry trees in full bloom that lined my path. My fascination of the short-lived flowers of the fruit trees in contrast to the "eternal" stone monuments gave me the inspiration for this edition. And will continue to influence me for a long time to come."
