Stylish Italian sink for the garden - Goti Terrecotte

Incredible product design combined with meticulous firing of clay from the Impruneta quarries gives us the synonym of Goti Terrecotte d’Arte craftsmanship.

Goti Terrecotte boasts over fifty years of experience born from the owner Giancarlo's strong passions. Mr. Giancarlo began his journey as a ceramic decorator apprentice, later opening a small artisan workshop in Sesto Fiorentino after marrying Ms. Fiorella Goti. The expansion took place within a few years, and in 1973, the company moved forward by establishing its workshop in Calenzano, a few kilometers from Florence, Tuscany. Giancarlo’s extensive knowledge, gained over the years through experimentation with materials and production techniques, includes:

- Artistic casting of ceramic sculptures, replacing traditional molding processes

- Use of clay from the Impruneta quarries for the production of frost-resistant cookware made from clay with a unique family recipe, mixed and kneaded with water to create professional or outdoor food ovens with high-certified resistance and quality of heat-resistant terracotta fired at 1040°C.

A well-equipped laboratory allows for the handcrafted and personalized creation of jars, tiles, statues, pots, vases, sinks, chimneys, bricks on order, bas-reliefs, and various decorative items. The production department dedicated to wood-fired ovens has enabled Goti Terrecotte to be recognized internationally as a benchmark in the market of professional, home, and garden wood-fired terracotta ovens.

The product range, from classic to modern furniture, includes over 1000 items in the catalog. Additionally, the brand is prepared to produce custom items based on drawings or orders. Giancarlo, owner of Goti Terrecotte d'Autore, says that 90% of production goes to the “garden of clients”.

Artifacts are left to cook for 5 days in a dedicated oven at 1040°C. Only careful drying before firing prevents cracking during firing and ensures high mechanical resistance. High quality is guaranteed, certified, and laboratory-certified heat-resistant mass. The raw materials used are sourced directly from the Impruneta quarries. The clay found in Impruneta gives the finished product a unique color and extraordinary frost resistance.

For this reason, Goti Terrecotte seeks out and acquires prestigious Impruneta clay: an unparalleled raw material with remarkable properties, primarily “frost resistance,” meaning it does not absorb water and can withstand even the lowest temperatures almost indefinitely. Of course, the production process is also refined and more complex, with longer times: Impruneta clay is processed through molding, has very slow drying times, and is fired at extremely high temperatures.
