This stunning bowl from the Ninfea series is made by hand using paper clay (paper pulp and fiber incorporated into clay) that produces a distinctive tactile quality. Stunning on its own or in suggestive arrangements with others from Paronetto’s Cartocci Collection, this bowl has a light azure finish on the external ridged surface and white inside, and available in several sizes and colors. Slight variations from the pictured item are the result of the intricate handmade process. Every one of Paola Paronetto’s creations is unique. Slight variations in shape, colour and size are to be considered a guarantee of authenticity and value. They are finished with non-toxic satin-finish enamels. Although very rarely, it is possible for them to leak after long periods of exposure to water. It is therefore advisable to test their water resistance before using them on delicate surfaces. They should not be used as dining utensils. The white pieces can be washed with water or sanitizing products, whereas the coloured pieces must be treated more gently and cleaned with a feather duster or a soft cloth, dry or moistened very slightly with water.
