This sculptural clay jug with an enamel coating is based on a traditional Sardinian jug designed to hold water and also kept as a spiritual object for wedding celebrations. Flowers and ornaments cascade down the four handles of the jug, an auspicious symbol of abundance.

The form of this clay ceramic hen, considered a symbol of good luck in Sardinia, merges with the linear simplicity of the design. This sculpture, coloured with various hues of enamel, results from a series of works that sought to put aside the traditional intricate designs and keep only the essential contours of the auspicious figure.

This vase results from a collaboration between master artisan Walter Usai and designer Sam Baron. Following a series of vases made with Mexican artisans, Sam continues his exploration into what makes an object belong to a certain region. This vase is a version of the humble terracotta water jug found throughout the world, throughout time.

Walter Usai created this vase in collaboration with designer Valentina Cameranesi. The design of the vase plays with the traditional, elaborate nuptial vase gifted to young brides on the island of Sardinia. Inspired by the sensual shapes of Usai’s urns and the presence of flirtatious decoration in Sardinian ceramics, a duo has been created - Marria (slender) and Tunda (shapely), combining femininity and playfulness with a modern and mechanical touch.

Once, the Romans and the Greeks used these vases as canteens, slung over their shoulders as they marched. Now, void of their function, they are decorated with intricate forms as well as patterns and placed in homes to be admired for their beauty. Each Sardinian potter has their own version.
