Glazed Earthenware Cooking Pot

Natural earthenware pot made in Portugal using ancestral methods, yet refined in its form and free from folkloric embellishments.

Earthenware utensils are renowned for providing gentle, even cooking that preserves natural aromas and enhances the flavour of dishes. In addition, earthenware retains heat for a long time, making it ideal for serving directly at the table.

Here, the earthenware is glazed, preventing the absorption of fats and liquids, which makes the utensils healthier, easier to clean and more resistant to stains.

The use of local clay from the Alentejo, combined with entirely manual production in a century-old workshop, ensures the ethical and environmentally friendly character of this piece.

By choosing a piece from this remarkable collection, you will have the privilege of owning an item shaped by the hands of José Alves, one of the last potters still working with local earthenware clay.

This family pottery, whose roots date back to his great-great-grandfather, continues to thrive on the same site. "I thought the continuity of our workshop was at risk, but one of my daughters came to lend me a hand…" he recounts with emotion.

The red clay, known as "Olaria de barro vermelho", is particularly suited to functional tableware and is ideal for preparing spectacular stews: "In an earthenware pot, meat becomes exceptionally tender", smiles José Alves, demonstrating his expertise and love for his craft.
