Spinning Top - O Pião das Nicas

The spinning top is produced according to the traditional technique of filling by liquid via, manually sprayed with a white or grey engobe that covers the piece and gives it its own texture, making it a waterproof case where you can store small objects or food. The lid, which is also a small spinning top, is produced in linden wood, manually turned and stamped. The piece is complemented by a point in aluminium. The pieces are handmade and may vary slightly.
