This white bowl is entirely handmade in biscuit ware, thrown on the potter’s wheel and glazed only on the internal part. The decorative low reliefs are modelled by hand.
Born into a family of blacksmiths, since her early years, Lucia Volentieri found joy and life in working with ceramics. She is not able to explain the reason behind this attraction, but the fact is that she turned away from her family's blacksmithing tradition and – after art and scenography studies – opened her ceramic workshop and married her craft. Lucia has dipped in and out of study, research and experimentation throughout her life in pursuit of new techniques, styles and inspiration from other masters. She is a recognised master artisan herself, and today has a loyal line of followers who visit her bottega in Chianti. Her creations are simple, delicate vases, raku-inspired objects, as well as metal sculptures.
