Description from the seller

This glazed terracotta sculpture transforms a common, everyday object into a refined piece of contemporary art. The form, which faithfully mirrors the industrial shape of an egg carton, gains new dignity thanks to the plasticity of the clay and the sheen of the white finish. The small details in bright red, such as the stylized hearts and the mark impressed on the side, interrupt the surface's pristine whiteness with an artisanal and poetic touch. It is a work that deftly plays with the contrast between the humility of the original design and the care invested in handmade craftsmanship, resulting in an original and highly characterful decorative element.

Seller's Story

Lia's house was born with the vision of a unique home, with unusual and very special objects. From ancient times to modern, I like to tell the most diverse styles within the same format. A house that tells its story with warmth and personality always makes a difference. I love elegance, detail, and the diversity that comes together with taste and personality. Selling out of passion, and this gives me joy and motivation. I love the table in all its forms because it always contains the heart of a house. If the winning bidder decides to cancel/withdraw (CPA), he will assume the risk, the cost of return shipping, and the seller's import duty.
