A glimpse behind the scenes of our production in Portugal
Portugal is known for its rich cultural heritage, stunning landscapes, and delightful gastronomy. But did you know that this Southern European country also harbors a treasure trove of artisanal ceramic traditions? In this blog, you will discover how this age-old art form continues to flourish, both in Portugal and in the offerings of D&M Deco.
Ceramics in Portugal
Portuguese ceramic factories are famous for their artisanal approach to the craft. Techniques are passed down from generation to generation, imbuing each piece with a sense of tradition and craftsmanship.
Unique clay and glaze
Every ceramic factory in Portugal uses a specific clay and glaze recipe, depending on various factors: the regional availability of raw materials, local traditions, the preferences and expertise of the craftsmen... This results in variations in the characteristics and qualities of ceramic pieces between different factories.
Handcrafted Craftsmanship
While modern technologies and production methods have changed some aspects of production, the artisanal approach remains a key feature of the Portuguese ceramic tradition. The handmade character adds a unique and authentic element. When you run your hand over the surface of the pottery, you can often feel the texture of the process. Every subtle imperfection tells a story. This makes Portuguese ceramics highly beloved by both locals and international art enthusiasts.
