Carrube 5 is a unique ceramic vase crafted using an ancient hand-building technique called “colombino,” with no molds or mechanical tools. Each piece is carefully dried for about 10 days, undergoes a first firing at 1150 degrees for 12 hours, then glazed and fired again for 10 hours. Slight variations in shape, size, and color highlight the individuality of each vase, which is signed by the artist. The textured surface adds a distinctive sculptural quality to the design.
