Cartocci Paper Clay Objects by Paola Paronetto

Italian ceramicist Paola Paronetto’s Cartocci collection of paper clay objects has grown over time and most recently with new, oversized bottles and bowls. The line gets its unique texture from adding paper pulp and fiber to the ceramic mixture, giving each piece a delicate and tactile quality that screams fragile.
