I am a Sgraffito Pitcher. From out my spout pours the same kind of love that was carefully scratched onto my delicate surface. 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!
