Terrecotte Bettini Deruta Italy
The
Bettini family has been producing terra cotta for centuries. The craft
has been handed down from father to son up to the present day.
Our age-old experience has always enabled us to produce a wide range of
pottery for gardens, balconies and interior decoration. The warm and
refined elegance of our products, which makes them ideal for all
places, is the result of carefully chosen clay and skilful
craftsmanship.
The ancient-looking light colour of our terra cotta pots is typical of
the Umbrian tradition and recalls the "ziri" (jars), once used to store
olive oil, and the "scine", pots where linen was bleached with ash and
hot water. Our pottery quickly takes on an antique look thansk to the
delicate shades of the clay; each object is unique because it is made
by hand and the colour is never the same.

A correct drying process, a stage which is often understimated, makes
the product hard, porous and weather-resistant and creates the best
conditions for plant transpiration.
|
Firing is another fundamental stage. Today,
thanks to technology and the skill of kiln-masters, the firing time and
temperature are carefully controlled but, everything is still done
following tradition.
In fact nothing or little can be invented in a
craft whose origin is lost in the mist of time.

 |
We can just try to improve our craft,
following the example of our elders, in order to meet the requirements
of our customers and make tradition live on.
|
The Bettini family is proud to decorate your
houses and
gardens with their artistic terra
cotta.
