Stoneware cylindrical vessel, with a wide mouth and densely modeled irregular edge. Multicolored glazes (red, blue, yellow, white, green, pink, and black) flow abundantly from the lip and run down the walls, interrupting and enlivening the dark, ribbed vertical texture of the body. The work combines the material solidity of stoneware with a free, almost gestural painterly gesture, transforming the vessel into a sculptural object with a strong chromatic impact.

The glazes in these works are applied in particularly abundant, viscous, and dense layers, almost sculptural. During firing, the thick masses of glassy glaze melt and flow freely, forming thick runs, volumetric droplets, and irregular accumulations that transform the stoneware surface into a painterly relief. This generous use of glaze is not merely decorative: it creates a strong contrast between the rough, ribbed texture of the ceramic body and the liquid, almost overflowing brilliance of the colors. The resulting effect is dynamic and tactile, halfway between ceramic and gestural painting, giving each vase a unique and unrepeatable character.
