Why Choose Artisanal Tableware?
The main advantage of clay and ceramic vessels is their thermal capacity. Clay bowls keep soup warm for longer, while mugs keep drinks cool in summer. Additionally, natural materials are eco-friendly and do not alter the taste of food.
Aesthetically, artisanal tableware offers a rustic and welcoming look, being ideal for holiday meals, traditional restaurants, or guesthouses. The small imperfections of handmade work give them a unique character.

Frequently Asked Questions about Artisanal Tableware
Can clay dishes be used in the microwave?
Most glazed ceramic dishes can be used in the microwave. However, porous, unglazed clay dishes or those with metal decorations are not recommended. Always check the product specifications.

We recommend hand washing with a soft sponge and liquid detergent. Avoid dishwashers and abrasive detergents, which can fade colors or chip the edges of the dishes over time.
