The Artisan Story

Hand-painting ceramics is an ancient craft that requires special talent and years of training. This women-operated company in Portugal handles every aspect of production — from painting to firing to packing — ensuring a truly artisanal touch in every creation.

The process is intricate and time-intensive. Clay is molded into the charming flower shape, then fired at 1050°F for 9-10 hours. After drying and hand-sponging for smoothness, each petal is carefully hand-painted with classic blue stripes and glazed. The bowls are then fired again at 1030°F for 9 hours. This multi-firing process creates the beautiful, durable finish you see.

By choosing this bowl, you're supporting women artisans, preserving traditional craftsmanship, and bringing authentic handmade beauty into your home.
