La Familia Cruz. They are a wonderful close knit family in which most of the family members are involved with the business. The grandparents are both from well known pottery families from Puente del Arzobispo, Provence of Toledo, they married and continued their families traditions together. The sons and son in laws throw the pottery and grandmother, daughters and grand daughter paint the pieces. They are involved in the process from beginning to end, literally digging the clay from the ground and turning it into a beautiful, hand crafted, one of a kind pieces of art. The tableware is hand shaped of rich terra cotta (barro) clay that has been set out to dry in the brilliant Spanish sun. The pieces are fired in excess of 2000 degrees producing a very durable product resistant to scratches and chipping. It has been certified Lead and Cadmium free according to strict EU regulations. The back rims of the plates and platters have holes that allow for hanging. Many of our hanging flower pots also have loops.
This part of Spain has been the center of pottery making for centuries. Small towns like Puente del Arzobispo and Talavera de la Reina are home to numerous families of pottery makers that have continued their ancestor's trade with pride and care. Each family has developed their own style and uniqueness making them truly one of a kind and not mass produced.
