"Vongole adhesions are the inverse shape of the pineapple "petal." The first vongole piece made us think of vongole or cIam pasta, hence its name. To create this surface, the hand formed sphere is later elongated and folded into a concave piece. These pieces are arranged in regular patterns over the vase's surface, and they create rows of small cavities where glazes can pool and create interesting visual effects. Vongole is a softer  version of the Pineapple surface."
