About The Product:
The DAL is a vase with motifs based on abstract paintings that are applied before its first firing, by using a 'dripping' technique of black slip. The inside transparent glaze adds a finishing touch after a second firing at high temperature (1250°C) to ensure a more durable and resistant item. The design draws inspiration from Cy Twombly's Bacchus painting creating a beautiful merger of contemporary art and nature
