Ceramics

The art of earthenware has got very ancient origins in Sardinia: prehistoric archaeological finds prove that in this period earthenware tools were produced. Nowadays, production techniques are still the same but the tools have become object for making houses beautiful.

The  tradition is still present in the use of the potter’s wheel, the construction of the oven, of the glazing,  and in tools. Artisanal earthenware shop realize djugs (marigas) of different size, dishes (pratus), glasses (tassas), pans (pingiadas), mugs and cups. These are all made with earthenware, baked and lacqued. Together with the production of traditional objects there is also an innovative one that creates using new techniques and decorations taking inspiration from the nuragic civilization.
