Prehistoric pottery needs specific manufacturing techniques which require a considerable investment in time and money. Nevertheless, we use traditional techniques in shaping and decorating our pottery. It is this production process along with the oxidizing and reducing firing in our field kiln, which give this pottery the characteristic appearance that, in many instances, is identical to the originals. All our prehistoric pottery replicate originals which were discovered in archaeological excavations and are made by strictly following the traditional manufacturing processes used.
Many of these original artefacts cannot be restored and are published only as illustrations. With some of these items however, we have succeeded in creating the original shape of the entire object from splinter remains and drawn reconstructions. Studying the originals, understanding the manufacturing process used and putting it all into practice has taken us five years. |
