Il Pomodoro

$490.00

Handcrafted in Palermo, Sicily

From Patrizia Italiano’s Golosi collection, Il Pomodoro transforms the everyday tomato into a spirited ceramic portrait. The medium-sized head is formed in galestro terracotta and embellished with raised, colored tomatoes. It is an affectionate, slightly irreverent expression of Sicily’s agricultural abundance.
