"And who says that ceramics are really made of clay and that earth is the only material used? If well made, is is made of the same material as imagination..." La Bottega Delle Stelle

Bottega Delle Stelle is a Ferrara, Italy based contemporary ceramics studio. Riccardo Biavati, ceramicist and creative director fires fairy tales in the kiln - birds that are purveyors of ancient secrets, fascinating sloping roofed houses with curious faces peeping out, each with a story to tell. These also happen to double up as lanterns and incense burners!
