Hand-painted Madonna figurine by Dellarte Ceramiche, 20 cm.
A Madonna in a prayerful pose, with a gentle gaze and harmonious lines, shows in a blue mantle embellished with golden details, that envelops the figure in a gesture of protection and tenderness, while the red garment adds warmth and depth. Hands crossed on the chest highlight a pose of prayer and devotion.
The figurine is crafted from Faenza ceramic following a meticulous artisanal process, starting with liquid clay, slip, poured into plaster molds to achieve the desired shape, then undergoing an initial firing at 1000°C. The decoration is entirely hand-painted with non-toxic glazes, followed by a bath in transparent glaze. After a second firing at 920°C, the figure is enriched with strokes of 10% pure gold, finally fired at 720°C.
