Used for centuries in island homes to preserve and keep water cool, this large container is much more than a simple household item: it is a symbol of hospitality, craftsmanship and timeless beauty.<\/p>\n
Handmade with harmonious shapes, every cantaro embodies ancient knowledge passed down through generations.<\/p>\n
After being hand-shaped, the vase is left to dry naturally and slowly in the open air.
\nWhen the clay is ready, it is fired in the kiln for about 36 hours at a temperature of around 980 \u00b0C.
\nOnce the first firing is complete, it emerges as terracotta, is cooled, and then immersed in tanks of colored glazes.
\nAfter drying, the vase undergoes a second firing that lasts 36 hours at about 920 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n
