French HandicraftsThis terracotta umbrella stand was made in Savoie using a traditional method known as “the rope method.” This technique involves shaping ceramics by gently winding a damp rope around a base, then applying clay evenly over the rope. Once the object is formed, the rope is carefully removed from inside the ceramic, and the object is then fired in a kiln. This method allows potters to create large objects more easily. In the heart of Savoie, this terracotta umbrella stand was crafted using an ancient technique known as “à la corde.”
This model comes in a variety of colors—feel free to email us at info@lamaisondecommerce to find out which ones :)
