Everything begins with clay, our raw material, which is shaped by hand until the desired plate form is achieved.

\nOnce removed from the kiln and cooled, the plate is immersed in white glaze baths.<\/p>\n
This process covers the natural terracotta color and provides the perfect base for decoration.
\nAt this stage, our master artisans begin decorating each piece entirely freehand, without the use of prints, transfers, or decals. Every design is created through artistic skill and craftsmanship, inspired by traditional motifs dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries, while also embracing contemporary color palettes.<\/p>\n
Once decorated, the plate undergoes a second firing of approximately 36 hours at 950\u00b0C, permanently setting the colors and making each piece truly unique.
