🔷All the handiwork is done in the atelier Mila in Santo Isidoro, where each piece is carefully moulded by hand in stoneware and porcelain, and is therefore unique and irreplicable, as a result of the time and care involved in this delicate, time-consuming process.
🌊 The sea and the countryside are the craftswoman's greatest sources of inspiration, particularly in the predominant colours, turquoise blue and lime green, and in the use of natural elements in her pieces,
like leaves, flowers, sea shells. 🌾
