Amphora

Beautiful unique vase by Italian artist Enrico Donadello.

All pieces are hand-built using coiling and slabbing techniques. The process itself is a slow analysis of the form, he starts with an image in his mind that evolves and changes as the object grows. Once the pieces have been bisque fired Enrico finishes them with glazes or engobes.

Enrico is obsessed with colors and he keeps testing different combinations. With engobes especially, he always overlays many different shades on the same piece to make the surface more vibrant and unique. Although he has an idea of what the final result will look like, it's always a bit of a surprise what he actually gets when he opens the kiln. All objects are made in stoneware and fired at a high temperature.
