Low, rounded tea or cappuccino cup.
This cup belongs to the EARTH and LEAVES (TERRE e FOGLIE) collection and is made of 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 collected 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 artisanal Tuscan ceramics. 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 and artistic value, telling the story of the deep bond between ceramic craftsmanship and the territory through material, color, and decoration.

Roberto Polidori was born, lives and works in Pitigliano. He founded the workshop and began the Ceramiche Polidori story.
