Tea or breakfast cup with a flared rim.
This cup belongs to the Terre e Foglie collection and is crafted from glazed terracotta, entirely by hand at the Ceramiche Polidori workshop in Pitigliano, Tuscany. The natural colours that characterise every piece – white, brick red, pink, grey, and ochre – stem from the research and selection of local clays and materials collected by Roberto Polidori in the hills of the Tuff Area.
The shades, always slightly different from one another, make every item a unique piece of Tuscan artisanal ceramics. The leaf decorative motif – oak, maple, and others – rests on the items in an apparently disorderly way, creating spontaneous and natural surfaces that evoke the landscape and the rhythms of nature.
Designed to be used and enjoyed, but also as an original gift idea, this cup combines daily functionality and artistic value, recounting the deep bond between ceramic craftsmanship and the local area through material, colour, and decoration.
