Ceramic rural house

The house of our childhood, our grandparents’ house, the little house from real stories from the good old days, our parents’ house, our little house - a lovers' nest, or merely the long-dreamed house from a miniature collection like no other. A collection that aims to preserve even in small pieces of clay the Romanian traditional houses just as they were in former times.

Shaped with a genuine respect for the essence and the spirit of the real model, this peasant house is inspired by the world of the Transylvanian Saxon village of Transylvania and Banat. The construction is simple, with one single level, and at the actual-size building - where there is such a thing - you can only see that side of the house exposed to the street.

Design & manufacture: Florin Dumitru – a history teacher whose passion is to rebuild Romania in miniature.

This miniature house could definitely be only a part of a larger set that you will want to piece together with the other houses displayed on our website, thus assembling your beautiful and imaginary Romanian village.

As it happens with any material object manufactured 100% soulfully and painstakingly, this particular object may also have small imperfections, small deviations from the dimensions exhibited and small colour differences from those specified. And that makes it all the more human and more full of emotions, and even of surprises, as it is surprises that make our lives even more beautiful.
