An ode to the romance of English Italianate gardens that dot the country near and far, providing both pleasure and nourishment.

Erbario evokes a tranquil scene of bees humming along herbaceous borders, stacks of old-world willow, and walls lined with garden tools underneath moss-covered thatched roofs. Earthy and herbaceous notes of tomato leaf, basil, carrot seed, mint and fig sing in the warm afternoon air, blending with a shadowy undergrowth of moss and patchouli.

Inspired by 8th century stemcups, Erbario's elegantly drawn vessel is characterised by a footed base, raised band, and flared rim. Poured and fired from fine white porcelain, the vessel is coated internally in a transparent glaze with a matte exterior - after burning, it can be repurposed as a vase for stems or a decorative object.
