Post Scriptum Curved Vase - White, Porcelain

The curved vase features hand-painted graffito decoration with black linear strokes against a white porcelain surface. The pattern is hand-drawn with ceramic chalk crayons onto bisque porcelain and fired to set the decoration, creating a sporadic yet consistent finish that gradually fades towards the base. Designed by Formafantasma, the silhouette draws from archival shapes at the Ginori Manufactory, updated with a graphic surface treatment.

Conceived by research-based design studio Formafantasma for Cassina, the 'Post Scriptum' collection brings together a series of hand-painted porcelain objects. Inspired by silhouettes found in the extensive Ginori Manufactory archives, the designers have applied a contemporary facelift to a family of familiar shapes in the form of graphic 'graffito' decorations. This is achieved through hand drawing each graffito pattern onto bisque porcelain with ceramic chalk crayons and firing the surface to set the pattern. On this wide curved vase, the grafitto takes shape as a series of black linear strokes against a white background for a sporadic but consistent decoration that fades towards the base.
