Rounded tea or breakfast cup.
This cup belongs to the TERRE e FOGLIE (Earth and Leaves) collection and is crafted from glazed terracotta, entirely by hand at the Ceramiche Polidori workshop in Pitigliano, Tuscany. The natural colors that characterize each piece – white, brick red, pink, gray, and ocher – come from the research and selection of local clays and materials gathered by Roberto Polidori in the hills of the tuff area.
The shades, always slightly different from one another, make each item a unique piece of Tuscan artisan pottery. The decorative leaf motif – oak, maple, and others – rests on the pieces in a seemingly 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 and artistic value, recounting the deep bond between ceramic craftsmanship and the local territory through its material, color, and decoration.
