Ceramics, Laughter & Discomfort

Piattini Davanguardia, specializing in third-fire ceramic decoration, was founded in 2017 by Annagina Totaro and Andrea Cardano. Gina, 37, left her career as an advertising graphic designer to turn her hobby of decorating into a full-time job.

Initially an online-only business, Piattini Davanguardia opened its first labstore in Bari in 2021. Here, their creations are made and sold on-site, as well as in over 20 affiliated outlets across Italy. The company also offers decoration courses locally and in various cities nationwide.

Value in the details

Expert decoration

Decoration begins with the ceramic support already glazed white. The main techniques used are "delineo" and "grassa," with additional processes including "tamponato" and liquid pure gold. Each piece must be fired in a kiln at 780°, ensuring the pigments adhere indelibly to the support, making it suitable for food use.
