Robbian Madonna with Terracotta Tabernacle

Robbiana Madonna Terracotta Tabernacle

The Robbiana Madonna terracotta tabernacle is a handcrafted item according to the Tuscan tradition.
It is made with clay resistant to low temperatures: up to -15° C. It is a perfect product to decorate your garden.
Initially, terracotta appears as a soft, gray material that allows the potter to easily work the clay.
The clay is manually inserted into plaster molds and takes the desired shape.
The clay must remain inside the mold for the necessary time to dry.
Therefore, the potter can make the necessary finishing touches to enhance its beauty.
Subsequently, before firing, the product must dry completely to avoid unpleasant breakages.
The temperature is gradually raised until it reaches 1000 °C: the temperature at which the actual firing takes place.
It is important to explain that this procedure requires 3 days:

• 1 day to raise the temperature to 1000 degrees
  
  
• 2 days to lower it and finally extract the finished product from the oven.
  
  

Once finished, the product is solid and pinkish in color.
Over thirty years of experience in the sector to guarantee the best choice of material and the best handcrafting.
