This glazed terracotta vase was shaped on the lathe. It was hand painted using an airbrush with a special matt yellow coating that gives the surface a slightly grainy texture. The profile is constituted by accentuated and sinuous curves.

Everywhere ceramics
- • Giampaolo and Ilaria create stateless ceramics
- • They do everything by hand on the lathe
- • They are inspired by nature and archaic forms
Pantoú Ceramics was established by Giampaolo Santoddì and Ilaria Biffara, who are originally from Caltagirone, a city in inland Sicily with an ancient ceramics and pottery tradition. They both grew up there, playing with soil and clay and hanging around old artisan workshops. After studying at the Ceramics Art High School – founded by Luigi Sturzo in 1918 – and specialising in this field, they decided to leave Caltagirone for Faenza. Pantoú is a Greek word meaning “everywhere” and when they named their atelier in 2015, they decided on the name as a way to describe and pay tribute to the stateless origins of their work. Ceramics are made out of substances which can be found on 90 percent of the surface of the Earth, so in many ways they are at home everywhere and nowhere.
