Oval Enameled Ceramic Madonna

Oval glazed ceramic Madonna

The oval glazed ceramic Madonna is a handcrafted product, manually produced according to the oldest traditions of the craft.

To obtain the glazed product, depending on the effect we want to give the object, we use white refractory clay which gives the product a bright and homogeneous color.
We use majolica clay in items where we need to highlight, in the most prominent points of the object, the dark of the underlying terracotta. This helps to better define the lines (for example, of a face). This clay is used with white glaze.

Returning to the procedure, we mold and hand-touch up the terracotta base: after which it is put in the oven for the first firing at 1000 degrees.
After the first firing, the glaze is applied with a special spray gun; it will appear as a powder and of a different color than the one we will have at the end of the process. After the glaze has dried, it will be fired a second time, melting at 900 degrees and permanently bonding to the base piece. Once out of the oven, the glaze will have taken on the desired color and the object will have a shiny effect.
