In 1939 the Masini family acquired one of the most ancient Vanni furnaces (1681) in Impruneta. The structure of this furnace is one of the most ancient: it still retains the typical characters of the Impruneta brickworks, both with its farmyard where many pieces of its production are displayed and with the loggiato from which there is access to the working area. In the building two kilns, which were in use at the end of the XVIII century, and XVIII-century plaster casts owned by the Agresti and still in use today are preserved. In some places of the brickworks the dates of the various restoration works are engraved on the brick of the vaults.
The production, which is still entirely an artisan one, makes use of modern kilns and makes pitchers, basins, vases and other pieces for garden decoration.
Notes:
The furnace joins the Association of Historical and Artistic Furnaces of Impruneta.
