He who stops to admire the work reproduced in these pages, will be surprised at the incredible richness created from a material as simple and common as clay. Due to the creativity of Alexandra Khuen-Belasi, the wood-burning stove in gazed ceramic (for centuries the primary mode of heating and a much requested item today), has become a work of art that transforms, under the dual aspect of beauty and utility, the entire living atmosphere.
The uniqueness of these masterpieces originates in this ceramist’s ability to meld personal expression with the needs of each client, creating the proper color and form that reflect individual taste. The technique adopted in the realization of a ceramic wood-burning stove is based on the antique method of ‘calco’ (casting), that maximizes the force released from firing.
In conclusion, it can justly be said that today, at the beginning of the twenty-first century and in an ‘ecological age’, this safe and sane fount of heating passed on to us by our ancestors fully responds to our present needs; in an economical sense, being a method of low consumption, and in a healthful sense, in its natural method of heating.
