Description

Bettina is an eternal romantic who lives near the Scala dei Turchi cliffs and spends her days painting the moods of the sea while the perfumed wind plays in her hair.

Towards sunset, she adorns herself with the local flowers and prickly pears.

The Bettina Moor’s head vase is available in three sizes: 17 cm, 27 cm and 38 cm.

THE PRODUCTION

The process of creating a Bettina Moor’s head vase involves two firings in a kiln.

The first lasts thirty-six hours at a temperature of about 980°C.

After this, the piece is slowly cooled and then immersed in tanks containing the enamel which will give the surface of the object its distinctive, eternally glossy appearance.

Once it has dried, the head is decorated by hand by our master craftsmen and then given a second firing to glaze the enamel.

This takes about thirty-six hours at a temperature of 920°C.

IDEAS AND INSPIRATIONS

The Bettina Moor’s head vase is perfect in the kitchen for holding your wooden spoons or a basil plant, or at the centre of the table filled with delicious, freshly-baked breadsticks.

Or even on your desk, full of coloured pencils, or on the bathroom sink, holding your toothbrushes.

It can contain small plants and flowers of all types.

Bettina is also an ideal gift for a loved one.

CARE AND DETAILS

To clean the object, use a soft, damp, non-abrasive cloth.

Do not use chemical cleaners, as these may damage the glaze.

The product should be handled with care, making sure to avoid dropping it, knocking it against hard surfaces (as even the slightest bump can chip the surface) or anything else which might damage it.

Always handle Moor’s heads with care, making sure not to put pressure on the crown or decorations.

Hold the base with both hands when moving your Moor’s Head.
