ARTS AND MATERIALS
Echoing the artist's technique, the Harmonie large serving bowl is crafted entirely by hand in one of the oldest workshops in Tuscany, open since 1921 and considered one of the best sources of Italian ceramic know-how. Cast and then demolded by hand, the pieces are first fired twice, with the design applied to the biscuit between the two steps using tissue paper outlined by pricked holes from a needle; the tissue paper is then dabbed with graphite using the "spolvero" technique.
The Harmony large serving bowl was born from a desire to draw an object with curves and geometric lines using flat red, green, and ochre tints which translate the formal language of the painter into three dimensions. The work of composing and arranging the patterns and colors was guided by the need to transcribe the emotions emanating from the master's painting. Thus, like a common thread, the Harmonie large serving bowl's decorative design evokes vitality, energy, and joie de vivre.
