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 creation by ceramist and painter Dani, the 'peacock eye' pattern unfolds across the matte, moss-green surface. Painted freehand, sand-beige rings encircle violet-blue and light green centers, creating a subtle, tactile relief that evokes the bird’s exotic plumage. This composition also recalls the ripples formed by a droplet hitting water, with the vibrant motifs clustering on the vessel's curved body while smaller dots decorate its neck and lid. It is ideal for serving fresh water with elegance or as a striking statement piece on a console or shelf. One of a kind, with Dani's mark on the base.
