The Cretto bowl offers artisanal craftsmanship with its hand-thrown stoneware construction, created at the potter's wheel in an Umbrian workshop. Its slip clay covering provides a natural appearance, while layers of ochre, brick red and brown pigments are applied over a grey base for a soothing finish. The bowl features three-dimensional textural effects inspired by Alberto Burri's works, and the hand-applied ink logo completes the design.
Created by Simona Cremascoli in homage to the three-dimensional and textural effects of the works of Alberto Burri, Poltrona Frau's 'Cretto' bowls explore the expressive power of stoneware. Crafted manually at the potter’s wheel in an Umbrian workshop, the bowls are encased in slip — a clay cover that provides each item with its alluring and natural appearance. Following this, layers of pigment in the shades of ochre, brick red and brown are applied onto a grey base for a soothing wash that is completed with a hand applied Poltrona Frau ink logo.
