With no two pieces alike, the paper clay cartocci are a range of fascinating and highly unique sculptures. Handmade according to a long and laborious process, they may vary in shape and size, both during processing and firing. Small differences in size are to be considered a virtue and a guarantee of exclusivity for this very reason. 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.
