SYRACUSE, OUR STRENGTH

TO CREATE

One of our strengths is continuous idea exchange with clients. Comparing their thoughts and needs is an essential and irreplaceable source of inspiration for creating new items.

Each piece is made with care and love, with attention to detail; the working method is part of the manufactory’s identity, never to be betrayed. It is fundamental for them to constantly seek new stimuli, original harmonies, and broaden horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.

The brand also stands out for the quality of raw materials it works with, such as stoneware suitable for tableware. Every day, they work to achieve the main goal: to channel all creativity into serving others, realizing their desires through their artistic sense.

FROM THE EARTH TO MAJOLICA

Every work begins with a pencil sketch, translating the artist’s thoughts. This shapes the object, transforming imagination into reality. Skilled hands use clay and water to almost magically create desired shapes. After leaving it to dry for several days under special conditions, the object reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

Terra cotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase in the production process where the artist gives their all. Often, it’s about giving space for imagination and color.

The production process ends with a second firing at about 920°C, which gives the colors shine and preserves the paints through the ages. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary for glossiness.
