There are many different techniques that characterize
the ceramics produced by Ceramica
di Vietri Francesco De Maio: the paintbrush technique
by hand, distinguished by the irregular distribution
of colours left by the paint brush, the sponge by
hand, with transparent colour by using a sea sponge,
silkscreen, which distinguishes from hand-printing,
for the greatest possible uniformity and placement of
colour. In this heritage of traditional workmanship,
decoration by free hand, a complex and precious
technique is the pride and joy of all the production
of this company. The master decorators, in accordance
with the traditional workmanship of ceramics of Vietri,
trace the outline of drawings, the so called "filetti",
done with carbon powder, on which the decorations are
completed by painting directly on the hand made glaze
"Bianco Vietri", when the material is still unfired.
The wide ranging choice of decorations, inspired by
archaic cultures originating from the Mare Nostrum
constitutes the artistic heritage for Ceramica di
Vietri Francesco De Maio, the most antique recipes,
handed down from generation to generation.
