To learn more about the manufacture, we quote these text from a vintage Ceramica Arcore leaflet:
“The workshop Ceramica Arcore started its activity in 1967, after the relocation of Marco and Tina Terenzi from Pesaro to Arcore. It’s the progression of the activity started with Nanni Valentini in 1958 in Milano.
The shapes and the content of the production originated back then. Also architects Luigi Massoni and Ettore Sottsass, as well as the potter Lino Sciannella, have been collaborating to this purpose.
Ceramica Arcore participated to all the major national and international ceramic expositions.
Ceramics are mostly executed by spin wheel or by casting. The doughs are cooked at 1250° and have the properties of gres and porcelaingres. The cooking takes place both in oxidizing and reducing environments.
The enamels, as well as the doughs, are self-produced. The models are reproduced in a limited number, always coherently with their shapes.”
