Materials used: The main body of all of our pieces consists of stoneware samote and gres. The colors we use are porcelain inglobes, metal oxides and body stains. The golden lines are real gold 22k. The main decoration characteristic on our pieces is colored engravings. They are fired three times, at 1020, 1260 and 750 degrees Celsius. They are non toxic, water proof and fire resistant. Each item, as any truly hand crafted piece, is unique and it will always vary in the four stages of its creation. There will be variations in the shaping/modeling process, in the engraved patterns, in the coloring as a result of different firing in the kiln and in the gold lines finishing. It is impossible for us to repetitively produce the exact same final product. This series of pictures in this website is meant to be viewed as a sample of our work, with the understanding that the final pieces in your order will vary. Detailed wholesale pricelist, including all specific measurements, is available upon request. For more information contact us.
