It is a laborious process that gives a product of high quality and long durability. It requires a first baking at 1020°C,which converts clay into terracotta. Then the masks are fully hand decorated with water paints extracted from oxyde minerals. The design is original or got from the ceramics tradition of '700 of the ancient Venetian "Serenissima" republic.
