Rossi since 1940 he worked as a ceramic decorator, with the best ceramic factories in Salerno, such as D’Agostino and Ernestine, and Musa in Vietri sul Mare, real pieces of italian ceramic history. In 1955, Luciano started his own business, “Creazioni Luciano”.
Thick-glaze ceramics are characterized by the use of a base body made with white clay or a refractory material, in order to overcome the significant expansion of the overlying glazed body; back then, the colours were directly applied onto the base body, followed by very thick vitreous glaze. The pieces, either in relief, engraved or flat, would feature a specific image or an abstract fantasy. The peculiarity of this ceramic process lies in the randomness of the glaze behaviour and colours during the firing, which caused smears and colour contaminations, that made each piece unique. This technique was soon abandoned due to the large number of by-products.Condition: Pre-Owned Good
