The little flower you see on this cup was put there by Maurizio. By hand, before the terracotta was fired. A small, precise gesture, repeated every time a cup leaves his workshop in Altomonte.
 
 
 
It's not an industrial decoration. It's a mark. The way Maurizio signs the piece, gives it a face, makes it recognizable among a hundred others. Every little flower is slightly different from the next: the same hand, the same gesture, but unique every time.
 
 
 
The cup was made to sit on the table: for olives, for dried figs, for fruit, for sweets. For everything served in a single piece, without too much fuss. Terracotta keeps it cool in summer, longer than any other material.
 
 
 
It's used every day, without thinking twice. And every day the little flower is there, the same as always.
 
 
 
A simple piece, with a mark inside that isn't forgotten.
