Since the dawn of civilization, the area of Este, in the Veneto region, has developed and collected the characteristics of traditional craftsmanship in the manufacture of ceramics.

Since the beginning, the hand-decorated pottery was the original method and prized among the artisans. Only the best workshops were able to achieve results of great suggestive level for both color rendering and artistic forms

The period of glory comes in the eighteenth century, more precisely during the production of Girolamo Franchini that opened in 1784 in Este near Ponte Girometta. Este is today a reference point for culture and craftsmanship. The charm of the workshop continues to live still today in the same manufactory established in Este by Girolamo Franchini in 1784.

These small works made in a pure white ceramic are handmade since the original molds, according to the tradition and the Venetian archetypes. The reference imagery is the popular culture and the local mythology, representing land’s resources and environment subjects.
