You are viewing a beautiful pair of square serving bowls made by L. Pardi from “Castelli” Italian pottery. A type of ceramic, Castelli’s. Defining characteristic is the tin glaze that gives these ceramics a brilliant white, opaque surface to paint on. The paints themselves are applied as metallic oxides onto the unfired glaze and absorbs the pigments like a fresco and preserves their intensity. Castelli ceramics require 2 more firings to preserve their characteristic pentacromia (5 colors yellow, green, blue, orange and manganese brown) portrayals of flowers, plants, landscapes, the sun, moon, coats of arms, icons etc. The hilltop town of Castelli where these pieces were made, is known for the “Castelli” pottery craft, and for its Art Institute and Ceramics Museum. It is a favorite destination of tourists and art lovers. These bowls are stamped with the Castelli Logo. Made in Italy for Cottura, L. We believe these pieces were made in the Mid-1980′s for retailer Cottura, which closed its doors about 15 years ago. The dimension for the two bowls are. Larger Bowl about 11″ X 9 1/8″ X 3 3/8. Smaller Bowl about 9 1/4″ X 7 1/8″ X 2 1/2. Please visit and like our store at. Please do not pay until you receive an invoice. Please check out the other items in our store and thanks for looking!
