Made exclusively for JCP Universe, Esker is the limited edition reproduction of a sculpture by Paolo Polloniato, aka POL. It is a series of bisque porcelain vases that represent the synthesis of the most recent research that the artist – whose family has worked with painting and ceramics for six generations – conducted into the stylistic and visual codes of the historical, artistic and craft heritage of his native Veneto. In particular, by reinterpreting traditional techniques and the use of ancient molds from historical manufactories, he has devised a manufacturing process that has become the true protagonist of production. The vases are fashioned out of the ceramic remains, whose layers give rise to a rough texture and a timeless iconic form alluding to the primordial purpose for which humanity produced ceramics, namely as containers.
