Each piece has a rustic and genuine character, resulting from wood-fired kiln baking that gives the clay natural and unique smoky tones.

We suggest the following guidelines for successfully integrating this piece into your decor:
Texture Contrast: Place the vase on modern material surfaces such as marble, concrete, or polished wood. The rustic nature of the clay and its smoky nuances create a very sophisticated visual balance in contemporary settings.
Compositions with Soul: You can use the piece as a focal point on shelves or consoles. The graphic design of the fish harmonizes perfectly with neutral color palettes and natural fiber textiles, helping you create a warm atmosphere with character.
Use of Light: We recommend using warm, directed lighting to highlight the subtle chromatic variations produced by the fire, which accentuates the artistic value of Margarita's work.
Because this is a 100% handmade process and fired in a wood-fired kiln, you will find subtle variations in the strokes and shading of the clay. These features are not defects, but the signature of the fire and the guarantee that you own a piece with its own history, far from industrial production.
