Campo de’ Fiori’s terra cotta is hand turned or shaped
by artisans who have been practicing their craft for generations.
Because of our long standing relationships with these skilled
craftmen, we are able to offer a broad and unique range of
designs and finishes such as out aged pottery. A wide range
of our pottery undergoes an aging process in our greenhouses,
resulting in the appealing look of old English pottery. And
the moss is real.
When a plan is watered, the terra cotta wicks
moisture to the moss and it continues to grow, forming a lush
green surface on the pot. You may prefer to simply use the
pots as you have discovered them, with the moss in a dormant
state. When planted, avoid placing dormant moss for prolonged
preriods of direct sunlight

Campo de’ Fiori’s bronze products are made by hand, either by the sand cast
or the lost wax method. These processes enhance each piece with considerable detail and integrity and
both are suitable for use indoors or out. All of our finishes are authentic patinas.
To maintain the finish, we have applied butcher's wax and buff to a hard, low-lustre finish.

Generations of skilled artisans have employed the craft of hammering, shaping and
molding copper into useful and pleasing forms that provide both function and beauty. Their talent truly
is a source of fascination. Not only are the objects generously crafted, but the detail and the color
reflect literally hundreds of years of practice and accumulated skill.
Our simple copper trays serve in all seasons, especially winter, to hold containers and
plants, bringing color and charm to any home.
To maintain this finish, just wipe with a dry cloth.
With our talented artisans, we have created a line of lighting that is handcrafted in the
time-honored tradition of respected European and American coppersmiths. Each lantern section is cut and
soldered by hand, evoking the simplicity and traditional elegance of a more tranquil time. Not only are
these lanterns well made, but also they stand up in all weather, age gracefully, and are an exceptional value.

Whether traditional in shape or of our own unique design, each wire basket is meticulously
crafted by skilled artisans. Our goal, as always, is to create products of quality - simple, attractive,
and made to last. These baskets reflect not only those standards which we hold so dear, but they also exemplify
the traditional designs that are so timeless in their appeal.
Our iron pieces are made by hand in our own workshops. This ability to create our products
in house has provided us with endless possibilities in the realm of cast and forged iron. Each piece is
uniquely our own design, incorporating both functionality and aesthetically pleasing proportions.
To maintain the finish, please generously apply mineral oil or let rust for a rich, aged
surface.

Each piece of stone is hand carved individually, not poured or molded like so many
products currently offered. Take note of the charming idiosyncrasies of each piece - in character,
in texture, almost life-like. These endearing creatures have been aged with real moss to enhance
these qualities.
Our stone garden ornaments and columns are substantial and pleasingly proportioned
according to classical tradition. They make handsome additions to virtually any home or garden -
formal or informal.
To maintain the moss finish, place in semi shade and keep moist.

Campo de’ Fiori’s wooden bowls are hand-adzed, not machine turned. Each piece
is unique due to this traditional method of carving by artisans whose families have been practicing
this craft for generations. In addition, all of our wooden bowl finishes are food safe, derived
entirely from natural sources.
To maintain the finish, the bowls and platers should be cleaned by wiping with a
dry cloth. To maintain the luster, avoid the use of water and detergents - simply apply olive or
mineral oil and buff.
