Crafted by hand with a unique material that blends clay with paper pulp and plant fibers, this vase is characterized by a striking mix between visual lightness and tactile firmness. Part of the Metropoli series, the cylindrical silhouette features a soft beige glaze on the uneven textured exterior surface and a glossy white interior. Grouped with other paper clay pieces in evocative and dynamic compositions, each vase boasts a one-off quality and no two will be exactly alike. 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.
