Pyrite grain, revealed at the surface.

These test pieces show how one clay body responds to different finishes. The mineral grain remains visible in the light, giving each surface its own rhythm, from matte to gloss.

GE221CEN · Ash White Stoneware

An ash-toned body between mineral and living matter.

Photographed within the folds of an olive tree, these pieces reveal the natural tone of GE221CEN. Wide views and close-ups show the dialogue between the clay grain, matte surfaces and more luminous areas.

CERAMIC FACTORY · ROSA I

The same ash white stoneware, at sculptural scale.

With ROSA I, Ceramic Factory reveals another expression of GE221CEN: a figurative piece in which the ash-toned grain accompanies the volumes, facial details and sculpted drapery.

Studio notes

Only what you need to know.

SMOOTH denotes a preparation with no grog.

IMP denotes an ultrafine, flour-like grog that is almost imperceptible to the touch. It feels close to a smooth clay body without actually being one, and greatly reduces drying shrinkage.

CHF denotes the fine-grog preparation. Its particle size is detailed in the technical data sheet.

CENDRÉ and PYRITÉ are special White Stoneware preparations. Their characteristics are detailed in the technical data sheet.

Characteristics are indicative. Always run your own forming, drying, firing and glaze-fit tests before production, and consult the safety data sheet.
