FORNACE MASINI, Impruneta

In 1934, Ottavio and Livio Masini began working as kilnmen by taking over the old Giuseppe Agresti Kiln in Impruneta. The company currently produces about 450 articles of various shapes and sizes that range from the classical to the most modern. The techniques and work cycles remain unchanged: in fact, larger vases and jars are entirely handmade using the old “coil” technique; hours and hours of work are required to complete a unique, highly ornamental object, carefully signed and dated. Special attention is paid to the firing process that gives the finished product roughness, compactness and the characteristic deep rustic red colour that is typical of the earth of Impruneta.
