Eyes Marble Jug

Artist Lithian Ricci transforms a simple porcelain jug into a unique work of art by merging painting and pottery techniques. Entirely handmade, this jug belongs to the Eyes Collection characterized by an intriguing decoration of eyes reminiscent of Surrealist paintings painted using the delineo on different backgrounds. The marbled effect of this piece is obtained with an ancient technique called olio molle (square shader in English), a complex technique in which powder colors are mixed with soft oil and applied with flat brushes to enhance the vibrancy of the pigments and texture.
