Our
“Robbiana” pieces are created from
original hand-carved molds, and
painstakingly hand painted in the
classic technique originated by the
Della Robbia Florentine dynasty, a
family of sculptors and ceramists active
from the 15th to the 16th century.
The distinctive mastery of Della Robbia
sculptors raised Italian majolica works
from craft to high art, mostly for the
application of their sculptural skills
to hand molded clay.
Della Robbia created a style and
technique that still today carries a
unique charm. They are also recognized
for their invention of glazed
terracotta. |
