Ettore is part of a unique collection of ten sculptural vases designed by Mimmo Paladino inspired by iconic figures from the Iliad and the Odyssey. Measuring 37.5x46x11 cm, it features a striking composition dominated by a large circular shield motif that envelops its surface. The vase showcases a bold, minimalist profile characterized by strong, defined lines symbolizing duty and resilience. Its monochromatic black glaze contrasts with the natural terracotta and hand-painted linear details, delivering a dramatic and evocative aesthetic.
