I love handmade things. I find it very special to serve a lovingly prepared recipe on a handcrafted plate, enjoy a good wine in a clay glass or present a special appetizer in a unique bowl.
Wherever I go, I am always looking for this type of product to enjoy in moments of tranquility, to make any moment special (I confess that my eyes shine every day when I pick up that cup, that bowl, that glass... that I bought at that market, in that workshop - I remember the reason why I bought each one), or to be able to offer an original presentation at special meals. I also love giving this type of product as a gift. It is an original and different gift that always makes a good impression, since they are unique and very personal pieces.
We already have a lot of handmade ceramic utensils at home, but when I discovered the work of Pols Ceramic through Patricia from Sabores y momentos , I knew right away that I wanted to meet Gloria in person and see some of her creations in her workshop. Gloria is a very kind and approachable person, and it didn't take long for us to talk about offering her products in our store.
The Pols Ceramic workshop is a very special and personal corner in a very quiet area of Barcelona. There, next to a bright display case, Gloria works the pieces by hand on her lathe and bakes them in two steps, at 1020ºC and 1260ºC, to obtain pieces with a durable and high-quality finish .
The pieces that Gloria makes are very functional , designed for daily use, with a simple design but at the same time very natural and warm. In addition, as they are handmade, each piece is unique and bears the personal stamp of Gloria's hands and work. Imperfections are part of the art of making things by hand , resulting in the perfect imperfection.
(1) Glass , flat plate and dessert plate ; (2) Mug with large handle , cobalt and mate glasses and coffee cup ; (3) Spatula jar , flat plate, deep plate , bowl and Pols Ceramic glass .
I hope this new collection conveys to you everything it conveyed to me the first time I saw it. It was love at first sight! In my opinion, it is worth investing in this type of piece, as they are ideal for more relaxed or special moments. They are also a perfect gift, giving something handmade is always a good idea.
