Cartocci Corteccia Fide Red Brick Vase

This stunning red brick vase is distinguished for its bold, irregular texture and unique silhouette obtained by the use of paper clay, an inventive material that combines fibers in the clay base giving the piece a strong aesthetic character. 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.
