This handcrafted porcelain bottle was fired in a wood-kiln for over 50 hours. Originally unglazed, the effects on the surface of the decorative bottle are created by ash melted on top of the piece during the firing as well as sand and seashells.

The nature of ceramics
- • Caterina is self-taught, through experimentation
- • She sources her clay and other raw materials locally
- • Her hand-made dinnerware is used by Michelin star chefs and interior designers
Studies in literature and philology did not prevent Caterina Roma from nurturing her passion for ceramics. Self-taught from a very young age, this process has given her “a rare freedom to create by intuition and observation.” Following her instinct, she has been exploring the endless possibilities – as well as the limits – that both materials and techniques allow. She has carried out a very personal, artistic research. The shapes of her creations are inspired by nature and tradition, Caterina digs her own clay, soaks and kneads it, collects plants and rocks which she will then incorporate into the glazing, firing her works also in a wood-kiln. Her connection with nature is tangible, balanced between poetry and function.

Porcelain bowl
This very thin thrown bowl was wood-fired for two days and two nights. Fired when unglazed, the bowl is given its final surface effect by pine ash accumulated during its firing that has fused with the bowl to form an emerald pool at its base.
