HAND-PAINTED CERAMIC CRUCIFIXES

Here you'll find the best quality-to-price ratio for artisanal ceramics in the crucifix category. Our ceramic pieces are handmade, crafted following the most ancient traditions of the trade.

Ceramics are born from terracotta, which undergoes a further process to acquire unique and refined colors. In this category, you'll find not only animals but also angels, busts, statues, lamps, panels, columns, bases, shelves, and much more.

The ceramics can be either glazed or cold-painted.

Glazed: After the first firing, the piece returns to the kiln for a second time for the glaze to fuse, resulting in a brilliant, glossy color.

Cold-Painted: We use a very smooth majolica clay, on which the artist applies washable tempera paints and waxes. Each item is freehand-painted, making it one of a kind.

For items that contain gold or silver, the process is even more complex: first, a special varnish is applied, then real gold or silver leaves are laid. Finally, with the use of waxes, the piece takes on an elegant, slightly aged look.

Each piece is full of passion, experience, and technical-decorative skill. Our ceramics are very different from standard products: they feature original models, exclusive designs, and truly unique pieces that will beautify your living rooms, home walls, or any space with the charm of Tuscan art.
