Specific features and materials of this item
Created and shaped entirely by hand in rough textured stoneware with coarse chamotte, this item is crafted using the slab modeling technique that gives the form an organic, imperfect, and deeply human beauty. Much of the surface is deliberately left rough for a rustic and sincere touch with small details decorated with a brush using unique glazes made from beech ash, which gives the colors delicate hues and mottling: dark green and satin white.
Fired twice in an electric kiln, with the second firing at 1270°, the work gains solidity and strength while maintaining a delicate core.
Each piece differs in small details and particulars
Each creation is unique and cannot be repeated, and can be customised according to the taste and sensibility of the person who chooses it.
If the item is available, it will be exactly as shown in the photograph. Otherwise, a very similar piece will be created, but it will never be identical and will differ in small decorative details that make it a truly unique piece.
