Creative Utility of Stoneware.

The stoneware's conductive properties help retain the temperature of preferred beverage.  A wonderful function in serving hot beverages like tea or coffee and the cold beverages like beer, juice, cocktails, etc. The most durable form of earthenware pottery, stoneware's high-fire curing process provides a dense, non-porous composition allowing it to be resistant to liquid and resilient over time. A perfect union of artistry and utility, each vessel requires a team of master ceramicists and skilled artisan painters to create.

The Design Aesthetics of a Quality-Made Stoneware Vessel.

The shape of these vessels is equal parts elegance and utility. One side features 3 concave grooves while the opposite side has a single groove allowing for a natural and convenient grip. The intricately free hand-painted design in the white/blue Azules elevated pattern covers 3/4 of the outer surface. The rim is finished with glassy glaze that also covers the interior.

Our Artisan Process in creating quality Stoneware.

Vessels With Utility and Artistry Crafted Through a Combination of Skilled Ceramic-Working and Technical Relief-Painting 

The perfect natural clay composition stoneware is known for its ability to handle high heat, non-toxic natural clay, steadfast weight, and long-lasting durability. These are just a few of the qualities to expect from a quality vessel. 

Each stoneware shooter is twice baked in a high-fire kiln at temperatures reaching 1700˚F. This first bake transforms raw clay down to a molecular level. The high heat and curing process forces out tiny air pockets condensing the material so that it is literally as hard as a rock, hence the name "stoneware." The baked stoneware has a wonderful natural vanilla color with a soft matte finish.

The Textures of Relief Painting

Skilled hands apply the Azules patterns and detailed artwork, a process that ensures the patterns and artwork on each piece are never identical. This innovative artisan technique is called "relíeve" meaning "relief." The technique requires skilled artisans to apply layers of natural lead-free paint by hand to the surface. During the 2nd bake, this relief painting technique literally raises the painted pattern providing a glossy texture just to the painted areas, a beautiful contrast to the surface of the stoneware.
