It is one of the most ancient furnaces in this area, founded at the end of the XVI century, restored by the Poggi family in 1919.
The structure of the building is a typical one, with an ample farmyard and the loggiato from which there is access to the production area.
At the back there is the clay quarry.
The factory stands out for its artisan and traditional production, as well as “robbiani” products in polychrome and monochrome enamels. Also the production is worth mentioning for its “patine a freddo”, thin stratified layers that covers the vases.
The production of contemporary internal design objects needs recognition.
In 2003 this brickworks has acquired the kiln previously owned by Lorenzo Andrei, which used to produce typical objects of the Impruneta handicraft.
Notes:
The furnace joins the Association of Historical and Artistic Furnaces of Impruneta.
