Eugenio Ricciarelli Collection

Mr. Ricciarelli is a most skillful artist who awes and inspires many. While not of a long line of Ceramic artisans, he has certainly carved a niche for himself with his craft, and will always be recognized as a favorite of many. Although his 3 room Studio is smaller than many other manufacturers, Eugenio has all the tools he requires to repeatedly create some of the most vibrant pieces of art. Despite the fact that his ovens are smaller, his workbenches narrower and you may find no more than two painting his pieces before the 2nd firing: this matters not. His showroom is adorned with the most dazzling of blue-on-blue hues that will leave your senses exasperated with awe! There is a saying that goes...one cannot rush good wine..., and the works of Eugenio Ricciarelli are no exception to this rule. Specially created pieces take longer to create in his Studio, simply because each piece is deliberately taken from an infancy of Clay...through first and second firing...to ultimately a sheer and luxurious work of creation, inspired by Eugenio at each step. He neither rushes nor cuts any corners throughout the creation process. Many of the great artists limit their work to 4-5 hours as they have learned one cannot rush the process of creating these beautiful works. Despite all the years and experience even Eugenios hands can find fatigue with a brush. To this end, when Eugenio is not in his Studio he is serving with his family, community, or at the Soccer Field with his numerous friends to include Michele (Fima Deruta) and Franco (Franco Mari Majolica), whose studio he worked at for many years before striking out on his own.
