MERANIA
Dobrodošli
Handmade ceramics from Istria
In Istria, a small peninsula in Croatia, since 1993. MERANIA, a family runned ceramic manufacture is producing unique ceramic products of timeless design – transparently and honest, using hands and traditional tools, dedicated to the process and materials, creative expression and sustainable business.
Our three collections country, retro and design were created for rural, rustical and modern interiors and exteriors. They are all devided in groups such as pendant lamps, wall lamps chandeliers, table lamps and floor lamps.
Products in the COUNTRY lighting group were developed for rustical rural spaces. Every lighting item is a work of art because it combines the crafts of clay building, handpainting traditional motifs and the mastery of forging iron.
Products from the DESIGN group were developed in cooperation with architects and designers. Forms and glazes were picked with great care so they fit in any contemporary space. Every lighting item from this collection is a work of art because it brings together contemporary design and traditional craftmanship.
Products in the RETRO lighting group bring us back to the old times and are perfect for retro interiors but modern interiors with a touch of industrial as well. The old patina and rusty effect, wrought iron and glass domes on the lanterns give a special touch to authentic retro spaces.
Ceramic and electrical parts for assembly and replacement adapted to all lighting fixtures from our offer.
Ovali, zdjele, boce i šalice iz ove kolekcije izrađeni su iz certificiranih materijala za upotrebu u ugostiteljstvu i domaćinstvu. Svaki komad je ručno rađen i oslikan sa pažnjom, pa posluženoj hrani ili piću daje posebnu vizualnu vrijednost.
Mediterania design draws inspiration from its place of origin - Istria, well known for its natural beauty and quality food, such as olives, wine and truffles, the true characteristic fruits of the Mediterranean.
Cooking in a clay pot is the healthiest way to prepare food. The characteristics of our heat resistant cookingware is that valuable nutrients are not destroyed, it keeps your food warm for up to 4-5 hours after cooking, it can be used on a gas or electric cooker, in the oven or on the fireplace. Cleaning and maintaining is easy : the pot is fulled with hot water after cooking and then after one hour just clean with a sponge. It is important to avoid shifting the pot between extreme temperatures, hot or cold.
Platters and bowls from this collection are produced with certified materials for home and proffesional use. Every piece is handmade and handpainted with care, which makes the served food look even more delicious! Our tableware is fired on very high temperature which makes it very resistable, but it is produced only for serving and not cooking. Maintenance is easy if handled with care, and the most important thing is that it can be washed in a dishwasher.
Traditional ceramics are the base of our production. This was our starting point and in over 30 years we never stopped using traditional techniques which was acknowledged by the Croatian chamber of crafts and awarded with the trademark „Croatian traditional craft“. Studying the history of ceramics, especially mediterranean ceramics, was the path in choosing our first forms, glazes and decorations.
The bukaleta holds a special place in our production as a traditional form that in the past came to Istria from Italy and France. It is produced in different sizes and can be ordered with a personalized writing – name or message.
House numbers are produced in a standard size 26cmx19cm and in different colours. We can also produce house numbers or signs in other dimensions by order.
Souvenirs we produce are inspired by our history and that is why we continually develope new souvenirs in the mining souvenirs collection. With this products we give our tribute to our grandfathers who spent their working days in the depth of the coal mine under and all around Labin area.
