Vases

The stoneware used to make these vases is obtained by mixing German clays with clays from Alberto Bagetto's local quarries as well as other minerals to obtain a coarse, raw surface. The glaze is a shino glaze, obtained by firing the pots on their side on a bed of seashells. The seashells turn to powdered calcium oxide when fired, and the sodium compounds in the shell pores volatilise and settle on the surface.
