Deruta pottery from the kiln

We have just visited Eugenio Ricciarelli in his studio in Deruta and he was about to open his kiln after the firing. It was loaded with lovely serving bowls, fruit bowls and other geometric pottery.

We took some pictures to show you one of the most breathtaking moments in the life of a pottery maker: will everything be safe and sound?  By Tiziana Manzetti

  1. We will be in Deruta in early October. We have collected many of Mr. Ricciarelli’s pieces. We would like to visit his studio. How can we make arrangements to do that?

    Thank you. It would be Monday October 2 or Tuesday October 3, 2023.
