Family of Grue

The Grue family uses a combination of conventional and cutting-edge methods to produce elaborate designs. Their hand-painted works frequently feature a variety of subjects, including live things and historical and mythical stories. They meticulously create these works of art using delicate brushes, etching styluses, and carving implements. A unique glazing procedure gives the pieces a nearly translucent, glossy surface. Detail-oriented layering, ranging from straw-colored flesh tones for human forms to a cobalt blue and orange mixture for detailing, produces the brilliant colours. The inclusion of gold, a symbol of their refined artistry, gives their works an additional air of preciousness.

Family of Gentili

The potters in the Gentili family are known for their modern take on majolica pottery. Their work has vibrant colours like electric blue and hot pink. These colours are made by adding glazes in a unique way that gives the finished pieces a lot of depth and texture. This bright, lively style not only grabs the attention of the viewer but also gives a distinctive appeal to any scene. The usual limits of majolica ceramics have been pushed further by their creative approach, which fits with modern tastes. Even though the work of the Gentile family is known for its creativity, they still use traditional methods of production and devote close attention to every detail to make sure that every piece they make is both attractive and functional.
