The pointed bowl has an unmistakable shape. Wide and deep, with sides that rise decisively and draw in towards the centre. Not just any bowl: a precise shape, made to hold things well.
 
 
 
In Calabria terracotta bowls were for everyday use. For fruit fresh from the garden, for pulses, for festive sweets. Terracotta keeps things cool without losing freshness, warms slowly and gives back heat just as slowly. It was the right material for a kitchen in no hurry.
 
 
 
This one is taupe: the natural colour of worked clay. A warm, discreet shade that goes with everything without imposing itself. Every piece is handmade by Maurizio: the rim is never exactly the same, the surface bears the marks of the wheel. That's what brings it to life.
 
 
 
Put it in the middle of the table with whatever there is: fruit, olives, bread. Or use it for carrying, for setting things down, for letting the eye rest on it before the hands do.
 
 
 
A bowl that knows its place.
