Ceramics – All Disciplines

Human beings have explored ceramics since earliest times. First out of necessity, to store food and water, and then as an infinite medium for decorative arts. The alchemy of the kiln is part science, part magic.

Every time and every culture has had functional requirements from ceramics; from a Chinese glazed roof tiles to Dutch tiled stoves and Spanish terracotta floors. The sheer ease with which these objects can be elevated beyond simple artisanal offerings, makes ceramics one of the richest categories for artistic experimentation.

Traditional and contemporary ceramics for walls and floors are represented in depth in De Ferranti’s unique collection.
