SCAVO VERDE
Classic Urn Shape with Serpentine Handles |

| In the Renaissance era, when colored glazes were produced by introducing a variety of minerals into the clay (such as iron oxide for green, ferric oxide for yellows and browns),
green and yellow were the most popular tones, because these pigments were the most easily attainable.
The Scavo Collection (excavation) products are manufactured to express the simplicity of the everyday pottery used in the Renaissance time. | Perhaps the most important feature of our “Scavo” collection is the unique, heavily distressed look created by stained paint and uneven glazing. |
| SCAVO Collection
Combining simplicity and elegance for your home and Garden
Particular research and attention was paid to reproducing the shapes of this collection. All are derivatives or exact copies of vessels found in medieval history books. Perhaps the most important feature of our “Scavo” collection is the unique, heavily distressed look created by stained paint and uneven glazing. Each piece is then hand-finished with our exclusive “Old-World” patina, to further emphasize the look of a genuine antique. Fully glazed inside and out, they hold water and are great for arranging flowers, but they are manufactured “For Decorative Purposes Only". (See page 15 for more info). For "100% Food Safe" Table Top and Dinnerware items in this same look, please see our “Castello” Collection on page 50 and 51. All items in our extensive Scavo (excavation) collection shown in this Page 27, are available in either Antique Green, Antique Yellow and Antique Red color. |
