One object, a thousand uses
Versatile and refined, the pine cone cachepot lends itself to various uses: a centerpiece, a decorative element on a sideboard, a fruit bowl, a coin tray, or in its classic role as a planter. Each scale of the pine cone is molded and applied by hand one by one, fired, glazed, and decorated — a process that makes each piece unique.

STAGES OF CERAMIC PROCESSING
FORMING
Clay is molded to create the shape
DRYING
The water contained in the clay is evaporated
FIRST FIRING
It occurs at a temperature of about 1000 degrees. The biscuit is formed, still porous
ENAMELING
It is the method by which the biscuit is coated with glaze, a vitreous layer that makes it waterproof
DECORATION
This is achieved through the talent of the master decorators who meticulously create the typical decorations of Caltagirone ceramics with their brushes
SECOND COOKING
It occurs at a temperature of 900 degrees and serves to irreversibly fix the enamel, making the piece very durable over time
