Terracotta Worked Foot

Handcrafted Terracotta Foot

The handcrafted terracotta foot is an item made 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.
Terracotta initially 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 on 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 breakage.
The temperature is gradually increased until it reaches 1000 °C: the temperature at which the actual firing takes place.
It is important to explain that this process takes 3 days:

• 1 day to raise the temperature to 1000 degrees
  
  
• 2 days to lower it and finally remove 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.
However, due to the handcrafted nature, the products may have some variations in size, weight and color.
