A bath of shiny crystalline accompanies the product to the second firing at 920° followed by the brush application of 24Kt pure gold which will give all its splendor after the last firing at 760°. The reflection obtained is attenuated by patinating the piece with cooked oil cleaned with a woolen cloth and ash. All the various phases of the work are rigorously done by hand giving uniqueness to each single object.
