The piece is not about a person, but an archetype. It is the study of the woman for whom a surface is not merely a boundary, but a stage for light.
Gloss Nonna, also known as "Nonna glaze" or "high-gloss glaze," has its roots in traditional Italian ceramics, dating back to the Renaissance period. The technique was originally developed by skilled artisans in the Italian countryside, who sought to create durable, functional pieces with a distinctive aesthetic. The name "Nonna" is derived from the Italian word for "grandmother," reflecting the passing down of knowledge and techniques from generation to generation.
Where contemporary culture obsesses over the “new,” Gloss Nonna celebrates the . A cracked pepper mill held together with twine? That crack is a memory. A wooden cutting board stained deep red from beets and wine? That stain is a flavor map.
