Is the female body vase handmade?

This ceramic vase is 100% handcrafted with love and care. Due to the handmade production they have some slight discrepancies in shape or colors. These variations are not considered defects. This is what makes the handmade pieces special and unique.

How is produced the female ceramic vase?

The first step is the filling. It consists of cementing the liquid ceramic paste into a plaster cast. The water contained in the paste is absorbed by the plaster, while the rest of the mixture solidifies on the surface of the mold. The artisan then carefully removes the clay from the mold and lets it dry in the ambient air. Then, the piece is cooked into a 1000 degrees oven. The clay loses moisture and plasticity, to become white and rigid, creating the ideal texture to absorb the glaze. In the end, the process involves coating the vase with a liquid which works as a filter and colour. The piece returns to the oven for the last time, where the glaze merges with the clay and reveals the colour and sparkle of its surface.
