Terracotta capital

By using the traditional “colombino” technique and, for some specific pots, by using the original moulds of its historical Gipsoteca, Manetti has revived the ancient method of working the terracottas of Impruneta. Orci, conche, vases, basins, amphorae, statues, small columns and classical furnishing accessories derived from the history of the Italian garden, entirely hand made and with decoration, all rigorously perfected with a chisel. It is a prize collection of works which transform craft production into art pieces of limited circulation. The forms appear enhanced by the exceptional characteristics of the raw material, derived from the exclusive “galestro” vein whose resistance makes the modeller’s work a task of absolute dedication and talent. If the vases are outside they need drainage in the bottom.
