The Villa Chalice vases are meticulously crafted from Italian terracotta clay. Artisans hand-pack the clay into molds through a process called calco. Each mold is then left to dry for 2-3 days, during which the clay naturally shrinks, making it easy to remove the mold. The vases are then transferred to a kiln and fired at 950 degrees, resulting in pieces that can grace your space both indoors and outdoors, bringing timeless elegance to any setting.
