Cartocci Toucan Gray Pitcher

An everyday object of sophisticated allure, this splendid vase is part of a series of objects superbly handcrafted of paper clay, a blend of natural fibers and clay that results in a unique, irregular texture of strong value. Its elongated and tall silhouette with a pointed spout is marked by natural vertical accents that add dynamism to the piece. 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.
