The Making of Our Portuguese Stoneware
Our organic-shaped Cove ceramics are crafted in Portugal using raw stoneware clay which is dug from the local area. Before the clay enters the production process, there is a period of cooling and solidification where the clay is tested to ensure it meets the manufacturer’s standards. While moulds are used to form the plates and bowls, each varies slightly in shape and colour.
Each piece is coated with a reactive matte glaze, developed from scratch by a Portuguese supplier using raw materials and pure oxides, frits and other components to achieve a more natural look. It undergoes a chemical reaction when fired at high heat, forming a unique texture on the surface of the burnt clay. Due to the unpredictable nature of the glaze, no two finishes are exactly alike.
