This is a handmade ceramic serving platter handmade in Almería (south of Spain).
Luis created this minimalistic and simple shape using local clay and painted it with traditional oxides from the area, cobalt blue and granada green all forming an aloe vera shape - endemic to Almería.
All these pieces are handmade, slight shape and slip-coating differences are present in these pieces, making each one unique.

These are 100% safe for food and were made using local materials only, great center piece or serving platter for the upcoming festivities.

Who made this? What's its history?

Almeria is the driest region in Europe and home to the only desert climate on the continent, the Tabernas Desert which borders with the Mediterranean Sea. This creates an amazing contrast and landscape that is not only worth seeing and visiting but also knowing in depth, actually 3/4 of my family came from this area. Although poor in resources, Almeria has a fantastic clay and stone and in the past had a lot of pottery villages.

Luis comes from a potter family living in a village that had up to 60 potters but nowadays only Luis' pottery is working, he actually quit his job when his brothers retired to continue with the family and village legacy.

    • Cómo cuidarlos

      Diswasher safe. High fired earthenware creates a glazed surface that is durable and easy to
      clean. But for the durability of your earthenware, we recommend hand washing, only with mild soap and
      never scratchy or abrasive powdered cleaners.

      Microwave and freezer safe. The thermal shock resistance is high but it is not
      suitable for use in ovens. It is guaranteed to withstand temperatures only from -20oC to 120oC. This
      earthenware should not be put directly over a direct flame or burner.

      Food safe. All products contain no lead or cadmium.

      Considerations

      Please have in mind all our pieces have been handmade or handcrafted using natural materials. Most artisans still keep centuries old tools, so changes in colours, shapes, measurements, finishes and textures can occur due to their artisanal nature.
