The Perfect Union
Every year in the coldest weeks of the winter season, strange sculptures begin to appear in the fields all over the island. It is the moment for grafting.
Wild olive trees grow throughout the island and they produce perfectly tiny olives with a thin and bitter skin. However, though the oil from wild olives is supposedly superior to that of domesticated varieties, the yield is much, much lower. And so the grafting game begins.

Tunda Vase
by Valentina Cameranesi and
Walter Usai
€ 375,00
With "Sisters," designer Valentina Cameranesi, working with artisan Walter Usai, plays with the traditional, elaborate nuptial vase gifted to young brides on the island. Inspired by the sensual shapes of Usai’s urns and the presence of flirtatious decoration in Sardinian ceramics, Cameranesi has created a duo - Marria (slender) and Tunda (shapely). Here the original shapes are both exalted and transformed, combining femininity and playfulness with a modern and mechanical touch.
Materials:
Terracotta with unleaded glaze
Height 30 cm - Width 26 cm - Depth 20 cm
Most pieces are made to order. All measurements are approximate as each vase is handmade by our artisans.
