Herstellungsphasen

The manufacturing process that leads to the creation of our ceramics is divided into six important phases: Turning, Drying, first firing, Glazing, Decoration and Aging .

For each of these phases we dedicate the utmost care to every detail so that the final product is the result of a unique, inimitable and unaltered work over time.

Drehen und Formen

Die erste Phase der Majolika-Verarbeitung besteht darin, unseren Kreationen Form zu geben, und dies geschieht durch zwei wichtige Wege: Drehen und Modellieren.

The second phase is drying in which our products are subjected to slow, gradual and natural drying without temperature changes, in order to expel all the water contained in the clay. This phase will be followed by the first cooking with ovens that reach temperatures estimated at approximately 1000° for 13 hours.

Glasur

After the first firing there is enamelling, in which the products acquire a totally white color based on oxides and kaolin; thus ready to pass into the hands of decorators who will give color and style to the creations.

The colors used in our laboratories are designed and studied according to color shades and effects.

Dekoration

Die Dekorationsphase zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie unseren Kreationen Stil verleiht mit Farbtönen, die in unserer Werkstatt entwickelt und realisiert werden. Farben, Formen und Stil sind das Ziel, um unsere Marke Sofia persönlich zu gestalten.

The second cooking is the most important phase where everything cooked at the established temperatures acquires shine and brightness, thus enhancing shapes and colors. Through particular techniques, the chiaroscuro is highlighted on the crystallized effect of the majolica, inspired by the great master CARAVAGGIO.
