sacré-cœur ceramic wall cross by virginie marie gliozzo – lagoon – h 15.5 cm

Sacré-Cœur is a little ex-voto inspired cross, cut from a slab of stoneware and hammered by hand so the glaze pools in every hollow. A plump double heart sits at its centre, framed by a fine stitched border.

Hang one above a bed or a doorway, or group several colours together for a joyful wall. A meaningful gift for a christening, a wedding or a new home.

About the artist

Virginie Marie Gliozzo spent eighteen years designing ready-to-wear collections for the great Paris fashion houses before trading fabric for clay. After a professional ceramics training in Montreuil, she opened her own studio and boutique in 2024 in Montmartre – her favourite corner of Paris – on rue Francoeur, just behind the Sacré-Cœur. She works in stoneware only, building each piece by hand with coils or on the wheel, glazing it herself and firing it twice – first at 950°C, then at 1250°C. Every piece leaves the studio unique, with the small variations in shape and glaze that mark true handmade work.
