The artisanal process pays homage to the same processes done in Portugal at this time, often referred to as "Loiça de Coimbra." This representation of 17th-century faience uses colorful landscapes and woodland creatures in the center of the pieces. After the piece has been painted, it is placed in the oven to be baked for 12 hours or more. These exquisite pieces will appeal to fans of fine art and can be purchased online from the [Ceramic Mocoshop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ceramic-home-collections) online platform on [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock) for $94 CAD.
