Varicoloured


Pavimento in cotto fatto a mano - Fornace Polirone - Impasto Variegato
 The Lombard varicoloured handmade terracotta floor has traditionally been used between the sixteenth and twentieth century in Lombardy, Piedmont and Ticino to pave both homes and historic houses.
The feature of this handmade terracotta floor is the simultaneous presence of two clays of different composition, which show, after cooking, red-orange and white-straw colors well distinct from each other.
Every furnace had its own forming method and each zone had its own clays with the result of having countless types of varicoloured floors both for color and for pattern.
 
On sample or drawing of the customer, we can realize any format, tone and pattern.

Cenni storici

SHORT HISTORY
 
Usually,the size of Lombard varicoloured handmade floor (also called "veined" Lombard) was the rectangle with sides of 40x20 cm and, less frequently, the squares 25x25, 28x28 and 32x32 cm. There are many types of "veining", due to the fact that small furnaces around the area avail themselves of artisans and each one had his own technique of manipulation anf forming.
During the recovery of several floors we found so many varicoloured types really different both in sizes and shades of colors and patterns.
A special mention is for the varicoloured handmade terracotta floor and the compositions produced during 1830-1850 by "Fornace del Conte Lana" in Borgonato ( Brescia).
The sizes were squares,hexagons, rhombuses and triangles in black, white and marbled (variant of varicoloured with stripes).
