Papyri Blue-Eyed Matte-Brown Stoneware Vase

Obsessively repeated against a bulging brown stoneware body, a motif of manually etched and painted blue eyes distinguishes this vase. Deliberately left matte on the outside, the surface aims to evoke the idea of a precious just digged-out find, an idea coherent with the inspiration behind the piece that comes from a couple of renowned bronze statues found in the Ercolano archeological site.
