Pope Clement XI, born Giovanni Francesco Albani, was pope from 23 November 1700 to his death in 1721. He was born in 1649 in Urbino to a distinguished family. His mother Elena Mosca was an Italian, descended from a noble family of Pesaro, while his father Carlo Albani was a patrician descended from the noble Albani family that had established itself in Urbino from northern Albania in the 15th c. At the upper side of the jug is written “Clemente XI (gio. Albani) 1700”, the year he was elected pope (private collection, Athens Greece).</p>

Red earthenware, painted over in green and brown tones, finished with a transparent colorless glaze. In the mid 19th century, the cigarette found its way to the Ottoman Empire from France. Compared with pipe smoking, the cigarette was an easy-to-use smoke. In fact, the cigarette was a revolutionary device because it included the instrument of smoking and the smoke itself. The cigarette was therefore the perfect commodity for obtaining relief and instant satisfaction while at work. That was the reason why, in the late 19th century, the potters of Çanakkale started to make these elegant ashtrays for smokers (private collection, Athens Greece).</p>

ICARO Rodi was part of an ambitious Italian project aiming the economic growth of Rhodes Island in Greece during the period of the Italian occupation. Official initiation of activities and the opening of the workshop happened in July 24th, 1929 with Luigi De Lerma to be the first technical director of ICARO Rodi. His experience from ‘Fontana Limite” made the ICARO production to be similar to Faenza’s. In the same year he invited Darrio Poppi to be part of the team. In 1931 ICARO Rodi moves to a new building in the old city of Rhodes (near the spectacular road of the Knights- Via dei Cavalieri) where a Madonna tile and a decorative tiles panel can be seen till today. (Compilation of beautiful examples of ICARO Rodi & IΚΑΡΟΣ ceramics from early 1929 till 1955. Belong to a private collection in Athens Greece)</p>

After the polychromy in 1540s and 1550s they experimented with other colors encouraged by their success which ranged from soft lavender to a deep chocolate brown. The colors were used both for the painted details and in some cases as a ground color. It was however a short lived phase with only the red to continue after about 1975 (IZNIK, The pottery of Ottoman Turkey, Arthur Lane 1989). The beautiful jug in the photo in blue with red details is in the Islamic Museum in KL Malaysia dated near 1960. </p>

The approach to the ‘portrait’ image in Montelupo pottery, according to John Mallet, produced results similar in culture and chronology to<br />
those in other pottery towns of the peninsula. The first Montelupo pottery with figurative decoration comes from the late medieval, a production that continued up to mid 15th c.(‘Figurato’ Maiolica plate from the Ariana collection in Geneva Switzerland – prob mid 17th c.)</p>

Animals are first depicted on Iznik fritware in 1520s and 1530s with the finest creatures to be those on the Sunnet Odasi tiles.They rarely occur in the 1540s and 1550s with the exception of a peacock dish in the Louvre Museum and a unique two handled flask with chasing animals, that both represent the two major trends of later animal wares (IZNIK, The pottery of Ottoman Turkey, Arthur Lane 1989). The beautiful plate in the photo from the Islamic Museum in Malaysia is an example from near 1575. </p>

Dear friends,<br />
We have initiated an effort to collect material from the factory of ICARO RODI and IKAROS RHODES and save its history. Your valuable assistance is more than welcome and in fact is a must in order to be able and proceed, as we need:<br />
• Personal stories of people that used to work in the factory (names, dates, interviews we can have, etc)<br />
• Photographs (during working time, houses decorated with ICARO, personal photos to support stories from the workers – may be yourself, your grandmother or grandfather, someone from your family, we do want to have him/her in our book)<br />
• Anything else that can assist our research<br />
We hope that this effort can be a really interesting article and we want to include you or your family in it.<br />
Please contact with as through ceramopolis00@gmail.com<br />

Carissimi amici,<br />
Siamo al inizio di una impresa di trovare materiale in riguardo con dei Stabilimenti Ceramiche di “ ICARO RODI” sia che “ ICARO RODOS” . Abbiamo bisogno del vostro prezioso aiuto per trovare<br />
· Storie dei personagi che abbiano lavorato nei stabilimenti con magari nomi e date.<br />
· Fotografie del personale in fabrica durante il lavoro al riposo etc.<br />
· Qualsiasi che possa autare alla nostra ricerca<br />
Speriamo che questo tentativo finira in un interessante articolo quale ci piacerebbe che essistesse anche la vostra storia.<br />

Αγαπητοί φίλοι,<br />
Ξεκινήσαμε μια προσπάθεια να μαζέψουμε υλικό σχετικό με τα κεραμικά του εργοστασίου ICARO RODI και ΙΚΑΡΟΣ ΡΟΔΟΣ, καθώς η ιστορία του χάνεται με τον χρόνο. Η πολύτιμη βοήθειά σας είναι αναγκαία για να μπορέσουμε να συνεχίσουμε καθώς χρειαζόμαστε:<br />
• Πρόσωπα και ιστορίες αυτών που δούλεψαν στο εργοστάσιο (ονόματα, συνεντεύξεις, ημερομηνίες, ό,τι άλλο)<br />
• Φωτογραφίες αυτών (στο εργοστάσιο, σε ώρα εργασίας ή προσωπικές)<br />
• Οτιδήποτε άλλο μπορεί να βοηθήσει την έρευνά μας<br />
Η προσπάθεια αυτή ελπίζουμε να καταλήξει σύντομα σε ένα ενδιαφέρον άρθρο και θα θέλαμε να αναφέρει και την δική σας ιστορία.<br />

Despite the decline in production in the early 19th century because of the great political and economic crisis, many laboratories in the Veneto region have survived, making pottery for a wider consumer audience, on which are depicted scenes from everyday life, nature, animals , people, religion, mythology etc. These ceramics, known as “ceramica popolare”, produced in large numbers during the period from 1840 until the First World War, when the Veneto region was in the front line and was a murderous battle field, resulting in the death of any industrial and craft (private collection, Athens Greece).</p>

The arabesque style decoration shows the strong influence of the Moorish-Hispano art on Montelupo’s pottery designs. Three spots in the centre were caused by the tripod stilts used for stacking plates during firing. Montelupo is situated in the heart of Tuscany , between Florence and Empoli, and has been an important centre for manufacturing ceramics since medieval times. Its success can be credited to the natural abundance of clay in the surrounding area, primarily due to frequent flooding of the Arno River , and second, the role Florentine merchants historically played in trading Montelupo’s maiolica, or hand-painted terra-cotta, throughout Europe during the Renaissance ( private collection Athens, Greece).</p>

For centuries, women in Sejnane have been making pottery. It is a skill that has been passed on for generations from mother to daughter. The techniques used to create pottery made here date back thousands of years. The clay is shaped by hand, then decorated with traditional motifs. The items are baked on open fires in the yards of the houses. The decorative patterns on the vessels all have symbolic meanings. The stylized triangles on this bowl symbolize fertility (private collection, Athens, Greece).</p>

An anthropomorphic gas lamp from Çanakkale (early 20th century). Red earthenware with a brown glaze and decorations painted in red, white, and yellow over the glaze. The lamp probably depicts the Prince Itō Hirobumi (1841-1909), four time Prime Minister of Japan, dressed in General’s uniform. Following the Russo-Japanese War (1904-05), Japan occupied Korea, and Itō Hirobumi became the first Resident General of Korea. Itō who had opposed an annexation of Korea, was assassinated in 1909 by a Korean nationalist while on a trip to Harbin (Manchuria). His assassination is believed to have accelerated the path to the Japan-Korea Annexation Treaty in 1910. Another unique piece of the varied and endless Çanakkale’s production, which combines pottery with history (private collection, Athens Greece). </p>

St. Roch or Rocco was born at Montpellier and had traveled to Italy in the 14th c. to tend to the sick during the plague. He himself fell ill and was expelled from Rome. He withdrew into the forest, where he made himself a hut of boughs and leaves. As St. Rocco lay ill in a cave, a stray dog belonging to a nobleman, brought him bread and licked his wounds, healing them. Rapino is a typical Abruzzese mountain town noted for its long tradition of making ceramics, which continues today. The Feast of San Rocco is a religious celebration held on the 16th of August. For this traditional festival in honour of the pilgrim saint, people flock to drink water from a miraculous fountain with a typical decorated ceramic jug made by the craftsmen of Rapino (private collection, Athens Greece).</p>

Because of this, some excellent examples of Ottoman and European pottery have been survived on the walls of the Orthodox churches and monasteries. Unfortunately, many of these ceramics suffer serious damages from the passage of time, people’s ignorance and natural elements. For this reason it is important to protect and preserve them (photo by Ceramopolis).</p>

Soup toureen from Cerreto Sannita (dated 1737 on its basis). Cerreto Sannita is a municipality in the Province of Benevento in the Italian region Campania, located about 60 km northeast of Naples. The ceramics art tradition flourished in Cerreto after the earthquake of 1688. Many craftsmen came to rebuild the city, including many master potters who brought their invaluable skills. Thanks to the Neapolitan potters, Cerreto’s pottery reached high levels of artistic and decorative quality. At the beginning of the ‘700 and throughout the 19th century there is a flourishing production of authentic works of art (private collection Athens Greece).</p>

Faience plates from Wally and Les issletes among other items painted with the famous giraffe Zarafa (c. 1827-9). Zarafa was a female giraffe given to Charles X King of France by Muhammad Ali of Egypt. She was one of the first three giraffes to be seen in Europe for over three centuries and her arrival in France caused great excitement to the crowds. She was presented to the King at the chateau of Saint-Cloud in Paris on 9 July 1827. Zarafa’s arrival in Paris caused a public delirium. Over 100,000 people came to see her, approximately an eighth of the population of Paris at the time. The enthusiasm of the crowd was the reason for displaying giraffe images to a large number of objects, including ceramics and porcelain, as we can see in these plates. Zarafa took up residence in the Jardin des Plantes and remained in Paris until her death in 1845. </p>

<p>Kouza, water jug from the mountain villages of Cyprus (Phini, Ayios Dimitrios and Kaminaria). In previous years the transportation of water from the fountain to the home was a daily task carried out with the aid of these large jugs, generally containing over 10 litres of water. Made of red clay with an archaic form, kouza (κούζα) is the most characteristic water jug in Cyprus (mid 20th century, private collection Athens Greece).</p>

Hispano-Moresque ware was a style of initially Islamic pottery created in Muslim Spain, which continued to be produced under Christian rule in styles blending Islamic and European elements. The Moors introduced tin-glazed pottery to Spain after the conquest of 711. Valencia, Barcelona and Malaga became important centers of Hispano-Moresque ware. The industry’s most successful period was the 14th and 15th centuries. Although the Moors were expelled from Spain in the early 17th century, the Hispano-Moresque style survived in the province of Valencia. Later wares usually have a coarse reddish-buff body, dark blue decoration and luster. Private collection Athens Greece.</p>

Giant ceramic figure of a horseman, made by Savas Yiasiranis from Archangelos Rhodes. Son of the famous craftsman Nicholas Yiasiranis, former master potter of the Icaros factory, Savas continues (as well as his brother Stephanos) the family tradition by making human and animal figures, dolls with traditional costumes of the Dodecanese and idols in a bell shape. Most of these ceramics are sold at fairs all over the island, especially in the feast which takes place on September 8th at the old monastery of Panagia Tsampika near the village of Archangelos. Despite his advanced age, Savas continues to make folk ceramics which reflect the popular taste and spontaneity of their creator. Private collection, Athens Greece</p>

Armenian flask (Kutahya) dated from the second half of the 18th century. Representation of a mail figure in traditional clothing smoking a long stemmed pipe. The sides are decorated with needle-leafed branches while the perimeter of the flask is decorated with flowering branches. Such flasks and/or plates were mainly addressed for European buyers.<br />
The oldest Kutahya ceramics, an example of tiles dated (1718/9) , were a special order for the restoration of the church of the Holy Sepulcher within the Old City of Jerusalem (also called the Church of the Resurrection by Eastern Christians). These pictorial tiles depict a series of scenes from the Old and New Testament with an inscription in Armenian. (Last Supper and Holly Women at the empty Tomb – Etchmiadzin chapel, St. James Cathedral, Armenian Patriarchate, Jerusalem).</p>
