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 part of creating new items.

Each piece is crafted with care and love, with attention to detail; and the working method is part of the brand’s identity, never to be betrayed. They are committed to constantly seeking new stimuli, original harmonies, broadening horizons through artistic expressions that are never banal and always experimental.

The brand also distinguishes itself through the quality of raw materials it works with, such as stoneware suitable for tableware. Every day, they work to achieve their 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 the piece to dry in special conditions for several days, it reaches the so-called “skin hardness” and is then ready for the first firing at around 1000°C.

Terra cotta is then ready for decoration. This is a phase in the production process during which 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 enhances the colors’ gloss and preserves the paints for centuries. Sometimes, a third firing is necessary due to the shine.
