Description from the seller
Brocca Mod. ET2 by Ettore Sottsass for Alessio Sarri Ceramiche (Turquoise Gres)
This Mod. ET2 jug is a magnificent example of the collaboration between master Ettore Sottsass and the high craftsmanship of Alessio Sarri Ceramiche. Made in Sesto Fiorentino, this piece combines Sottsass's innovative design and bold use of materials with Sarri's refined ceramic technique, resulting in an object of great expressive power.
Design and Artisanal Technique
The design of the ET2 Pitcher stands out for its clear and decisive shapes. The piece is made of stoneware with a white body, cast in a mold and fired at high temperature. The surface finish is particularly refined: a matte, porous glaze in turquoise is applied over a glossy white glaze base. This contrast between the granular opacity and the glossy base, combined with the vibrant color, makes the piece a distinctive example of post-Memphis aesthetics.
