Tradition and Design
Poetry is honored to be a new part of the Cotto Etrusco story. Cotto Etrusco creates dazzling terra cotta, hand made in the Etruscan way, slow dried in open sunlight and enhanced by alchemists who know the ancient secrets. Varied finishes showcase perfectly imperfect qualities that capture a timeless, storied look that opens the mind to a portal in time.
Cotto Estrusco is the perfect combination of the most ancient ceramic tradition and contemporary design. Everything started from the desire to reactivate an ancient kiln to work sedimentary clays collected in a pit of Etruscan origin in Central Italy. The close relationship between CE’s designers and master craftsmen allow them to recover recipes of ancient production techniques and formulas for mixtures and glazes to produce unique products that are re-innovative and extremely durable.
Ecological and Sustainable
COTTO ETRUSCO has created a 100% ECOLOGICAL and ECO-SUSTAINABLE production cycle.The natural clays are pressed by hand, and dried in the sun, then fired in traditional ovens with wood from ethically managed forests and then in electric ovens using 100% solar energy. The colours are created only with natural oxides.
Laboratory and Research
“Cotto Etrusco considers research to be the strategic element of company development. In the internal laboratory, designers and expert connoisseurs of ceramic art experiment with new mixtures, new finishes, with attention also to personalized and exclusive requests. The result is high quality products, always unique, in step with the evolution of living and contemporary culture.”
