When you enter our workshop you can watch all the different
work stages which each object undergoes before being sold.
Our manufacture is paintstaking and detailed to put forth
high quality items, all handmade. |
|
|
The
majority of the objects are made by the use of a lathe
by the maestro Giovanni Sersante, the many times world
champion in Faenza of the use of the lathe; father of today's
owner of "La Mia Bottega".
The clay bought in blocks is cut up and weighed according
to the amounts needed for the object which will be created.
|
| |
The
objects are then left to dry in a special desiccation
room.
The items, just before being put in the oven are hand-finished,
and wherever needed, holes are bored and handles are added.
The
firing takes place in electric or gas ovens, at 1000°C.
The time needed between putting in the oven and taking
the objects out, is around 20 hours.
|
 |
The
objects before being enamelled are cleaned and carefully defect-controlled. |
 |
The enamelling process is when the
object is submerged in the enamel and takes a white
coating.
The objects after being enamelled are placed on
shelves and after a few days they are ready to be
decorated. |
|
 |
The decoration stage is rigorously free-handed, for
this very reason every item is unique.
After
the decoration stage, the objects are re-placed
in the oven and undergo another firing which reaches
about 960°C. The taking out of the oven stage
takes about 15 hours.
|
|
 |
The objects are then accurately controlled one by
one; those not suitable are re-refined and
re-placed in the oven.
At the end of our production process, only the best
items are destined for the market.
|
|
| Our production is then selected for:
re-sales, wholesalers and those sent to our sale
points. |
