We are representing ceramic articles, terra-cotta, potters and majolica: the modeled bells of Baltic and Siberian craftsmen, money boxes, the little majolica plastic arts of Jaroslavl craftsmen, flowerpots.
Archeologists found the statuettes out of fire clay in the most ancient sites of man didn't answered what he would do: talisman at happiness or to console, the child or to present souvenir to one's nearest and dearest? Who knows? Is it clear that souvenir of ceramics is the same years old as the humanities.
Terra-cotta means the "burnt earth" in translation from Italian. This ceramics produced out of red and white glue, not poured glaze and having the porous crock.
Pottery (from "pot") out of colored clay with porous crockery completely and particularly covered transparent lead glaze.
