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 distinctive oval shape, then fired at 1050°F for 9-10 hours. After drying and hand-sponging for smoothness, each piece is carefully hand-painted with vintage floral designs and glazed. The cups are then fired again at 1030°F for 9 hours. This multi-firing process creates the beautiful, durable finish you see.
By choosing this cup, you're supporting women artisans, preserving traditional craftsmanship, and bringing authentic handmade beauty into your home.
