in the past
Steatite, due to its malleability and resistance, has been used from time immemorial. It seems to have been employed since the Bronze Age, not as cookware but to make moulds for bronze casting. Later on it was used by several cultures to manufacture jars for storing oils. Its use in the manufacturing of pots by the ancient Reti civilization is mentioned by Ovid, who called them “lebetes” in Latin. This term became the Italic word “lavet” and then the modern Italian “laveggio”.
This soapstone cookware, mostly hooped with copper or wrought iron, was extensively used by families in northern Italy. It was often the only piece of cookware used to cook almost any food.
TRADITION REINVENTED
When we first started making soapstone pans, we also used the most common system for attaching the handles: riveting bent copper tubes to a hoop, which is then hammered into grooves along the top of the pot.
A few years later, we felt the need to redesign our models, and we soon realized the limitations of the traditional method in carrying out our design projects. We then developed a patented system for attaching any type of handle directly to the stone without drilling, leaving the internal surface intact.
This system allows our customers to buy the pans already complete with the handles we offer, or, alternatively…
