Cartocci White and Gray Centerpiece

The bowl boasts randomly drawn horizontal and vertical ridges and a single smooth gray panel, creating a visually striking work of functional decor. Entirely handmade of paper clay, a combination of paper pulp and fiber mixed into the ceramic base to create a distinctive texture. The bowl’s irregular shape is combined with the tactile quality of the clay and ridges to create a striking design. Exuding timeless appeal, this sculptural piece will make a statement in any decor. Every one of Paola Paronetto’s creations is unique. Slight variations in shape, colour and size are to be considered a guarantee of authenticity and value. They are finished with non-toxic satin-finish enamels. Although very rarely, it is possible for them to leak after long periods of exposure to water. It is therefore advisable to test their water resistance before using them on delicate surfaces. They should not be used as dining utensils. The white pieces can be washed with water or sanitizing products, whereas the coloured pieces must be treated more gently and cleaned with a feather duster or a soft cloth, dry or moistened very slightly with water.
