The hand-painted lava stone table, adorned with the traditional designs of Caltagirone ceramics, is a unique work of art that combines the beauty of Caltagirone’s ancient artisanal tradition with the durability and solidity of lava stone. Each table is carefully crafted by skilled artisans who apply the decorations by hand, ensuring high-quality craftsmanship.
Lava Stone
The slabs are cut from blocks of lava stone from Mount Etna and can be 2 or 3 centimeters thick, depending on the size. The lava stone used for the table undergoes a high-temperature firing process, reaching 900 degrees Celsius. This firing process gives the material extraordinary resistance, making it suitable for withstanding harsh weather conditions and the most aggressive atmospheric agents. The table can be placed outdoors without worry, as the lava stone is resistant to deterioration caused by exposure to the elements.
 Ideal for Gardens, Terraces, as well as Bars, Restaurants, and Hotels
Additionally, the glazed lava stone is waterproof, meaning it does not absorb water or moisture. This characteristic makes the table ideal for use in gardens, terraces, or outdoor spaces, as it can withstand heavy rain or temperature fluctuations without damage. It is also easy to clean and perfect for meals, as it does not absorb grease or other liquids, thus preventing stains.
As a hand-decorated artisanal product, the table may feature slight imperfections or irregularities. However, these characteristics not only enhance the table’s charm but also make it unique and distinctive. Each decoration is crafted with great skill and attention to detail, ensuring a personalized and authentic work of art.
This table will be a splendid and durable addition to any indoor or outdoor setting, creating a unique and charming atmosphere, whether in a private residence or a commercial establishment such as a bar, restaurants, or hotels.
Chairs and Accessories
You can complement your table with a wrought iron base or chairs made by artisan blacksmiths from Caltagirone. Some chair models are enhanced with a ceramic tile or a lava stone seat top featuring the same design as the chosen table. You can also add dishware sets, jars, and kitchen accessories with coordinated decorations.
