General:                Querceto, Settefonti and Belpoggio are small mountain  

                               hamlets near Loiano in Tuscany-Emilia, and is represented  

                               with the intense mineral appearance of this stoneware. The

                               bush-hammered version recalls the chiselled finish used by

                               stone-cutters to roughen the surface. The glossy version  

                               reflects light without losing the natural appeal of stone.
