Jlenia Frutta Collection
Hand applied fruits.
Our “Jlenia Frutta"” pieces are created from original
hand-carved molds with hand applied fruits, 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.
