Unique plates shaped with the slab technique, hand-modeled, painted, and drawn to turn your meal into a moment of celebration. Hand-sgraffitoed by Manu in her cozy workshop in Porto, located in the northern part of Portugal. The raw materials are sourced locally, prioritizing local producers, and making use of all leftovers to create a waste-free production chain. The process for crafting the Sgraffito collection can take around 10 days. After the clay is kneaded, it is rolled out respecting free forms. The following day, each piece is hand-painted and sgraffitoed (the technique that gives the collection its name), forming the white lines on each piece. The drying time depends on the season in which they are made. Once completely dry, they go into the kiln for the first firing (bisque). The pieces are then cleaned and coated with a transparent glaze before returning to the kiln for a final firing. After all these steps, the piece is ready to be used.

Each plate is a unique piece, maintaining the color and pattern of this ‘Sgraffito’ collection, providing a special touch to your table!

Burned at high temperatures can be safely used in the microwave, oven, or dishwasher.
