Inspired by tradition
The beauty of Italian ceramic.
Each bowl begins on the potter's wheel in a small workshop in Montelupo Fiorentino, near Florence. The maker forms every leaf separately and sets it in place by hand, building the artichoke layer upon layer until it looks as though it might still be growing.
The antique glaze is brushed on in several coats, so the color deepens in the folds and softens at the tips, and a gentle distressing along the edges gives every bowl the look of a piece that has graced a family table for years.
