This is the most highly prized cotto with its uneven aspect and rustic surfaces, characterized by that typical warm, earthy colour found in the palazzos and piazzas of Tuscany.

A particular and unmistakable tonality thas has become the trademark of a special moment in the history of architecture, that splendid and unrepeatable Tuscan Renaissance. Thanks to grinding before firing, a brick surface is obtained that highlights the mixure of strong earths, in other words the cotto “grain”.

This is the cotto that has always been used in the farmhouses of Tuscany.

With its even surface and salmon red hue, this is the material of the old wood kilns. A proposal that takes us back to a peasant-style Tuscany, little-known until recently, which is attracting great attention today thanks to the rediscovery of values surrounding nature. The low cost of this material is a result of the simplicity of its production process, which, as already mentioned, is reminiscent of the more genuinetradition of the ancient kilns.

This cotto has a different look thanks to its colour, surface and solidity. An ancient flavour transpires from its varying shades of warm, luminous pink.

A cotto inspired by the handmade production with which it has a lot in common but for which it represents an alternative. The uneven and wavy surface, surprisingly pleasant to the touch, has an irregular yet repetitive pattern. The weight is another winning feature. No wonder the “Cotto de’ Calanchi” expresses a great sense of solidity: cotto to last forever.

Produced with a mixture of selected galestro, Cotto Antico brings back the flavour of handmade cotto with its naturally irregular surface, and varying shades of pink enhanced by sparkling sand crystals.

A perfect imitation with the added advantage that Cotto Antico costs much less than handmade cotto. With this cotto the splendid style of traditional handmade cotto is within everyone’s reach. Ideal for ceilings, it also ensures extremely beautiful results for floors.

Peraps it is the most beautiful change, because it’s inspired by the magic of handmade cotto and it lets all the features emerge: not uniform surfaces, clashed aspect, important thickness.

It’s a type of cotto that outlines a strong lie with old kiln, from which, not by change, it takes its name, Cotto di Fornace.

This is the cotto that with absolute rigour offers the true tradition of the old kiln workers of Tuscany: the sole ingredients being clay and elbow grease. Nothing more.

LThe effect of this production is difficult to describe as it involves both tactile and chromatic sensations, the former thanks to its coarse,uneven surfaces, at times rough, the latter thanks to the intermingling of its red and pink hues that vary from piece to piece. A product with incredible fascination therefore, that only the passion of noble craftsmen inextricably linked with their trade can convex .

The pleasure of being surrounded by antique objects that speak in a simple, serene tongue,like a sundial.

The sundial evokes far off times when the hours were measured by the sun and man’s time was marked by natural rhythms. This sundial must be set into a wall facing south with the copper gnome inclined at a 45° angle. It will only ever tell the time in fine weather, never with a cloudy sky.
