In the world of cotto,
"Lavor Tondo" is the other
side
of the coin to “square
ware” (brick and its
derivatives,
which include
the tiles in this catalogue).
Its roots are anchored in
the centuries-old tradition
of
terracotta, and in Man’s
ability to fashion clay into
vessels by hand.
The beauty and durability
of Impruneta terracotta jars
that have come down to us
over the centuries provide
tangible evidence - if
indeed any were needed -
of the unique nature and
high quality of this very
special clay.
These noble terracotta
pieces are still
being made
by
Il Ferrone today, and
offered in a range
of
essentially
classic designs
that will transform any
garden into
a veritable open
air museum.
