Cartocci Corteccia Fide Beige Vase

The dynamic surface of this splendid vase is marked by expressive and uneven vertical ridges, obtained by using paper clay, a dynamic material that introduces paper fibers into the clay base for a unique and strong textural allure. Sturdy but sophisticated, this vase is entirely crafted by hand. 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. This piece is currently on show and immediately available at Artemest Galleria New York.
