Cartocci White and Gold Centerpieces #1

Striking and stately, this bowl features dynamic horizontal and vertical ridges and a distinctive panel insert in gold, whose vibrant color and smooth surface elegantly contrast with the expressive white for a striking visual impact. Taking on an irregular shape, this bowl is handmade of paper clay, an innovative material in which paper pulp and natural fibers are mixed into the clay to achieve a distinctive textural and aesthetic quality. Placed as a centerpiece on a table or console, this bowl will enliven any decor. 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.
