A true
classic from Montelupo (Tuscany) and an Artistica’s
exclusive, created using the now rare technique called 'Ingobbio'.
Prior to first firing, a glaze obtained from a clay of
different color is applied only on the exterior part of
the object.
This ancient Tuscan process produces an authentic 'Old
World' look, and adds significant body to the colors.
You can actually feel the consistent (almost raised)
body of the painting when gently passing your hand over
decorated parts. Due to the complexity of both
preparation and painting, this technique is now used by
very few artisans, which makes these items very hard to
find. |
