Cartocci White and Black Tall Vase

DESCRIPTION

This exquisite bowl is distinguished for its bold silhouette and uncommon combination of colors and textures. Taking on the form of a flower in bloom, this piece is handcrafted of paper clay, which combines paper pulp, fibers, and clay to create a highly-textured medium. The white surface is marked by haphazardly drawn horizontal and vertical ridges, contrasting with a smooth panel insert in black. Gifted as a housewarming present to a friend or loved one, this piece will shine in both traditional and modern decors. 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.
