|
The
Majolica Papero feature a truly unique assortment of
gorgeous replicas of hand
painted vessels used in the renaissance era to store olive oil,
wheat and wine.
The
''Papero'' (Duck) motif is among the oldest Tuscan
Majolica designs and definitely one of the most
sophisticated pattern we carry.
All
items of our Antica Majolica collection are
painstakingly hand painted with traditional designs of
the best Tuscan tradition.
Nowadays, these exclusive 'renaissance-era' adornments
offer an authentic Mediterranean look to interiors,
patio, and garden areas. Great for either Indoor or
Outdoor Use. |

These Majolica pieces are 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. |
