Handcrafted zoomorphic ceramic vases
Zoomorphic vases are one of Giodi's historic product lines: animal figures in terracotta that hold plants and flowers, turning a planter into a décor object. Snails, horses, turtles, rabbits, cats — each shape tells a story and creates that small moment of surprise that closes the sale.
Why they work at the point of sale
Zoomorphic vases answer a precise need in the garden and floriculture market: differentiating the offer from industrial producers with a product that has strong visual identity. They sell well in warm months as garden complements and year-round as gifting items. They are one of our top exports to Germany, Netherlands and the United States, where demand for premium Italian craftsmanship continues to grow.

Our artisan signature
Every zoomorphic vase comes from an original Giodi mold, developed in-house. The finishing phase — burr removal, smoothing, detail application — is entirely manual. Final decoration is hand-painted freehand: which means every piece has micro-variations in tone, and it's precisely this intentional imperfection that makes the difference compared to an industrial item.
