LA TERRACOTTA di RUSSO MAURIZIO

HELLO, I'M RUSSIAN MAURIZIO, A CRAFTSMEN,   MY PASSION FOR THIS PROFESSION COMES FROM A FAMILY TRADITION WITH ME WE ARE IN THE FOURTH GENERATION OF MAKING TERRACOTTA PRODUCTS. AS A CHILD I SIMPLY FUN IN THE FURNACE WHERE ALL MY COUSINS GOT TOGETHER TO WATCH HOW MY FATHER AND MY UNCLES KNEAD THE CLAY, THEY WORKED ON THE LATHE BUT   THEN I NEVER THOUGHT THAT AMONG ALL I WAS ONLY ABLE TO CARRY ON THIS TRADITION AND MAKE IT MY LIFE'S WORK. OBVIOUSLY A LOT HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN BEFORE WE WORKED ON PEDAL LATHES NOW I USE ELECTRIC LATHES, FIRST IT WAS FIRED IN OVENS WITH WOODEN Twigs NOW ELECTRIC ONES, ONCE THEY MADE THE GLAZES THEM THEMSELVES NOW THEY ARE ALREADY READY AND ALSO THE TYPE OF THE GLAZES PRODUCTS HAS CHANGED BEFORE THEY WERE PRODUCED GUMMOLI (WATER JARS), FIRE PINKS, PLATES.... NOW MY PRODUCTION IS VARIED, I ALWAYS START FROM THE TYPICAL TRADITIONAL OBJECTS AND THE TRADITIONAL TABLEWARE LINE WITH THE BLUE FLOWER, BUT THEN I CONTINUE WITH LINES OF MODERN TABLEWARE SERVICES, ART DESIGN AND FURNISHINGS, EXCLUSIVE LINE NATALIZIA E EASTER FAVORS, PERSONALIZED FAVORS, PERSONALIZED CRUETTS, PIGNADES AND FIRE POTs, DUJA WARMERS, CHRISTMAS BALLS AND HAND-PAINTED TREES, ETC.

THAT WE CARE PARTICULARLY ABOUT IN THE PRODUCTION OF OUR ARTICLES IS THE USE OF RAW MATERIALS MUST BE SELECTED CLAYS AND ALL LEAD-FREE ENAMELS. THANKS TO THIS DETAIL, WHICH DISTINGUISHES US, OUR PRODUCTS ARE ALSO EXPORTED ABROAD.
