The “Ceramica Raku” shop is another of Rome’s boutique stores that exclusively sells ceramic clocks.
The shop has been part of the Montesi family business which was established in 1985 and which sells these Italian ceramic clocks locally and internationally.
The shop is located halfway between the Pantheon and the Piazza di Pietra.
The name comes from a special firing technique for the ceramic and all the pieces are handmade.
They say: “We make everything by hand exclusively by Italian crafstmen.
The only exception is the mechanical pieces which are German.
”The Raku ceramic is characteristic for its shine which comes from the firing process.
The brightness can be seen in this gallery of the clocks, where we can also see some the different pieces.
Many of the clocks are dedicated to Rome’s icons (the family is proud of its Roman heritage), and some are more metaphoric with old Latin sayings.
Prices are reasonable, ranging from 25 to 130 euros.
The store is on Via dei Pastini and you can also visit the Raku website for more information.
