Curator's Notes 

The artisanal quality of this pitcher embodies the ancient traditions of handmade ceramics. Featuring an easy pour-spout and comfortable handle, we envision this piece being used to serve ice-cold lemonade at an outdoor dinner party!

Sgraffito is derived from the Italian word “scratch”. It is a technique of applying layers of slip onto a ceramic form and, while semi-dry, removing and etching certain areas to create a contrasting surface design. Momoko’s works are inspired by her love of lotuses and banana leaves. Her white sgraffito series display lotus buds and petals in bloom. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, featuring unique variations. They simply brighten up your day. Ceramics that will be cherished for a lifetime, knowing so many loving hours were put into the making of them!
