MAJOLICA LEONE ROSSO

The central motif of our all new Majolica Leone Rosso features the renown 'Leone di Montelupo' (The Montelupo’s Lion) that, surrounded by its heraldic crest, has been the 'emblema' of the 'Montelupo Fiorentino' area where the original Tuscan Majolica are manufactured since he XV Century.
Montelupo Fiorentino is located just on the outskirts of Florence and the world known Chianti region.
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 had to find.
