The basic materials are from Horezu’s Land, the famous region from East Europe, which is already well known for its finest handmade decoration and for its amazing artistic talent of craftsmen. The special combination of clay, in mixture with white and yellow earth, is brought from a hill, nearby Horezu. It’s a special place with an amazing culture of decoration.
