This piece distinguishes itself with a whimsical lid: a miniature ship with a shimmering 24KT gold sail cresting a stylized sea of blue and white waves, evoking themes of journeys, exploration, and the intimate connection between the land and the sea. The 24KT gold embellishments, reminiscent of sunlight on water, further enhance the sculpture's ethereal quality. More than a mere object, this ceramic foot is a tangible embodiment of Pinto's heritage, skill, and his ability to infuse the everyday with a touch of the extraordinary.
