The Earthenware comes in a variety of ranges from oven to table ware to jugs, plates, olive dishes, garlic stores and more. A particular favourite at the museum are named mugs where if you can't find your name amongst the 500 on the shelf we will make to order. Other orders and commissions are also welcome where you can mix and match colours and forms or commission a one off piece. All of the Earthenware is thrown on the wheel apart from the plaques which are press moulded. They are decorated using slip (liquid clay) and traditional techniques such as trailing, feathering, sgraffito and combing. The firing ranges between 1080oc - 1130oc. The ware is functional and intended for everyday use.
