A great Rooster of the splendid French tradition "Barbotine" , brings back to our observation this splendid technique, which on Ceramics and with natural colors at hand, transformed ornaments into splendid works of Art.

Our rooster dates back to the early 1900s, when in France, through Ceramics, so many expressions of the world of nature were represented, such as Chachepots, vases, table accessories, so many objects that through the bright colors that were used, transported us to the world of life and the Sun that illuminates it.

At that time, art was expressed by combining the most diverse colors that together represented precisely the harmony of creation-it is beautiful to observe tones of the same color in different concentrations and combinations.
