5 1/4”W x 10 1/2”H x 12”D

Domenico Pinto's ceramic foot sculpture is a bold statement piece, transcending traditional notions of form and function. Handcrafted in Pinto's Grottaglie workshop, this unique terracotta vessel merges the familiar with the fantastical. The sculpted foot becomes a canvas for intricate, hand-painted designs inspired by Apulian folklore, their graphic black and white patterns energized by luxurious 24KT gold accents. The playful lid – featuring a gilt head emerging from stylized waves – adds a touch of surreal whimsy, challenging conventional ceramic design. The artist's signature and "Italy" inscription, subtly integrated into the sculpture's surface, reinforce its authenticity and origin, celebrating Italian craftsmanship. This piece embodies Pinto's passion for preserving his cultural heritage while pushing the boundaries of ceramic art, creating a conversation piece that is both visually striking and deeply meaningful. The deliberate imperfections, embraced as part of the design process, enhance the sculpture's handcrafted appeal, making it a truly unique addition to any discerning collection. Domenico's artwork is proudly showcased in collections worldwide, including the Vatican.
