About this piece
The moringa is the round-bodied water jug with a narrow neck and a ball-shaped lid that Brazilian ceramicists inherited for cooling water by evaporation — no spout, no handle, just the generous curve of fired clay. The name reached Brazilian Portuguese through an African route: dictionaries trace it to Kimbundu, a Bantu language brought to Brazil by the enslaved diaspora, long before the jug became a decorative piece. In this version, ceramicist and painter Dani hand-paints each one in ceramic, 20 cm tall and 12 cm wide.

About this pattern
In this earthy-toned creation, large mandalas bloom across the vessel's generous curve. Their concentric circles, in hues of burnt orange, ochre, and dark brown, replicate the movement of expanding waves on water. This inspiration is enhanced by a delicate, raised pointillism that pulses over the entire surface, from the neck to the spherical lid. Hand-painted by ceramist and painter Dani, this work balances the warmth of its palette with the fluidity of its design, becoming a point of presence on a table or shelf, whether for serving cool water or for pure contemplation. One of a kind, with Dani's mark on the base.
