Cotto Manetti Handmade Terracotta
Strictly handmade in wood molds, according to the ancient tradition of Impruneta.
For the Handmade Cotto wooden moulds are used, in which the craftsman presses the clay
mixture to obtain the desired format. The size of the defined piece is about 6%
(8% for the handmade) larger with respect to the final size because the “raw” piece
undergoes this percentage of shrinkage when dried and baked in the kiln.
In this century-old tradition you find the Manetti Gusmano & Figli company, active in Ferrone since eight generations, focused on producing “Cotto imprunetino” flooring tiles both in all the handmade and machine made versions.
