Ana Lua and I first met at a local monthly market. I was selling bread, she was selling her pottery pieces. I instantly fell in love with her style, marked by gentle and femine forms. She became a loyal bread customer and, more importantly, a friend. Therefore, I couldn't be more proud to be collaborating with her and creating together beautiful, unique pieces for WildCultures.

This olive oil bottle is both rustic and elegant, robust and femine. Just like Ana! It can be used as your everyday dispenser for cooking, or as a jar to store your most special olive oil. And, although it was intended to be used for olive oil, if you remove the pourer, it can definitely double down as a beautiful tall vase for a single flower. Anyway you decide to use it,  this piece will stand out for its uniqueness and beauty in your home.

A great deal of the joy of cooking lies in the process. It is a sensory experience, an opportunity to engage in an ancestral activity and connect to the thousands of generations that have done exactly the same movements before. Using special and soulful utensils, handmade in the same ancestral fashion, is one way of bringing in even more beauty to this process, .
