Martina Corti - Vase - Ceramic

Height: 33 cm
Because this is handcrafted work, there may be slight variations in size and color compared to the photos and among different pieces of the same series.

A vase shaped and turned by hand, with rosy tones enamelled on a body of white chamotte stoneware clay at 5%.
On the surface of the vase you can notice an impression of flowers; the effects on the vase are created with salt, sugar and coffee.

The artifact was created through the Saggar process. This technique is characterized by its spectacular and unpredictable aesthetics, with glazes and decorations that often take on unique and unrepeatable effects.

The piece was fired in a first firing in a neutral atmosphere for about nine hours at 930ºC and, after applying the glaze, it was fired a second time in a gas-fired oven at 880°C.

There is nothing toxic or dangerous that could leach out; this vase is purely decorative and should not be filled with water. Clean with a dry cloth.

Remember, this is not factory-made, mass-produced ceramic; each vase is individual. All pieces are entirely hand-formed, wheel-thrown, and glazed in my studio in Lecco, Italy
