Artistic Ceramics in Lustre, Gold and Platinum | Ceramiche Polidori

High-Quality Artistic Ceramics | Luxury and Craftsmanship

Our collection of artistic ceramics brings together shape, colour and precious materials. Since 1983, Ceramiche Polidori has created unique pieces using gold, platinum and lustre, crafting glazed surfaces that capture and reflect light with elegance and sophistication.

The Lustre Technique | Iridescent Reflections and Unique Radiance

The first pieces in our collection were created using the ceramic lustre technique, with silver nitrate and bismuth. This process produces iridescent, shifting effects on different glazed surfaces.

The addition of gold and platinum in small areas and along fine decorative lines enhances the interplay of light and reflections, transforming each piece into a unique work of art. From the warm glow of gold to the cool reflections of platinum, every object tells a story of elegance and meticulous craftsmanship.

The Challenge of the Third Firing | Every Piece is Unique

The technique we use is known as third firing, and is applied to pieces that have already been fully finished. This method requires considerable experience: the perfect softening range must be identified so that the precious metals can be incorporated into the surface, while the rate at which the glassy coating solidifies must be carefully controlled.

The quality of the gas, firing pressure, pyrometer and firing cones all influence the final result, making every creation unique and unrepeatable.

Gold and Platinum in Ceramics | The Luxury of Italian Craftsmanship

The interplay of reflections and resonance between lustre, gold, platinum and colour makes our artistic ceramics a distinctive choice for collectors and design enthusiasts. The combination of rigorous technique and expressive creativity transforms every piece into a work of art.
