There is a particular quality to the hour just after midnight in the countryside — the darkness is not flat but layered, and anything pale catches the faintest light and holds it. A white flower in a black garden. A cream-colored stone on a dark path.

Notte is that contrast made permanent. The low wide dome is matte cream and sandy, hand-carved with a botanical leaf pattern — loose, organic, drawn before the firing with a tool rather than a brush. The carving catches shadow and releases it depending on the angle. Below, the body is jet black and deeply glossy, reflective enough to hold the room around it.

It is the most dramatic vessel in the collection. It asks to be placed where it will be noticed — a dark bathroom shelf, a stone counter, a bedside table where it will catch the last light before sleep.

Care

Hand wash only. Do not submerge or place in dishwasher. Stoneware is water-resistant and will deepen beautifully with age and use.

One of one. When sold, this vessel leaves the collection.
