Flared espresso cup with saucer | Terre e Foglie

Flared coffee cup with a round saucer.

This cup belongs to the Terre e Foglie collection and is crafted from glazed terracotta, entirely by hand in the Ceramiche Polidori workshop in Pitigliano, Tuscany. The natural colours that characterise each piece – white, brick red, pink, grey, and ochre – are born from the research and selection of local clays and materials gathered by Roberto Polidori in the hills of the Tuff Area.

The shades, which are always slightly different from one another, make every item a unique piece of Tuscan artisan pottery. The decorative leaf motif – oak, maple, and others – rests on the items in an apparently disordered 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 with artistic value, telling the story of the deep bond between ceramic craftsmanship and the territory through material, colour, and decoration.
