Anfora Vase
Anfora Vase
Maria Paola studies ancient forms of vessels found throughout Sardinia and then reinterprets them - choosing a specific mix of clays for each form.
Each shape is painstakingly created by hand using the coil technique and then baked in a wood-fired clay oven. Rather than using glazes, she either stone polishes her pieces (creating a mystical, almost metallic finish) or treats them with a series of waxes.
The Anfora Vases are inspired by the shapes of classic Sardinian water urns from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century.
Designed by Maria Paola Piras for Sardinian-based design publisher, Pretziada.
Medium: 12.2" L x 11.8" W x12.8" H
Large: 17.7" L x 16.7" W x 16.9" H
Wood-fired mixed clays, beeswax

Information about the pillows
Pretziada is a Sardinia-based creative practice dedicated to preserving and reimagining the island’s cultural heritage through writing, photography, and contemporary design made with local artisans.
Founded by Kyre Chenven, a former New York set designer, and Ivano Atzori, an artist rooted in graffiti and contemporary art, Pretziada acts as a cultural bridge—documenting Sardinia’s traditions while developing new interpretations of classic forms. Research, storytelling, and collaboration remain central to their work.
