This trilobed wine or water pitcher belongs to the TERRE e FOGLIE (Earth and Leaves) collection and is crafted from glazed terracotta, entirely by hand in the Ceramiche Polidori workshop in Pitigliano, Tuscany. The natural colors that characterize each piece – white, brick red, pink, gray, and ocher – stem from the research and selection of local clays and materials gathered by Roberto Polidori in the hills of the tuff area.
The shades, which always differ slightly from one another, make every item a unique piece of handcrafted Tuscan ceramics. The decorative leaf motif – oak, maple, and others – rests on the pieces 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 trilobed pitcher combines daily functionality and artistic value, recounting through material, color, and decoration the deep bond between ceramic craftsmanship and the local territory.
