Types of handmade tableware in Portugal
When it comes to dinnerware handmade in Portugal, there are several materials that you may want to consider for your choice.
One of the most commonly used materials in Portuguese handmade dinnerware is stoneware. Stoneware is known to be durable and resistant to chipping and cracking, so it is perfect for everyday use.
Porcelain is known for being delicate and fragile, but it is also very elegant and timeless. This type of material is commonly used in hotels and restaurants.
Unique Designs and Techniques
Portuguese artisans have perfected traditional techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation. The craftsmanship is clear in the unique designs and patterns, with glazes often used to add texture and colour to the pieces. The glaze has two major functions: the aesthetic component where you can choose several colours and variations, and, functionality because of the porosity of the material that otherwise would not be suitable for the storage of liquids.
But what really differentiates the Portuguese handmade dinnerware from others is the attention to detail that goes into each piece. From the hand-painted decoration to the details, Portuguese craftsmen are dedicated to producing truly unique pieces that will bring a touch of elegance to any space.
Instructions and Care for the Portuguese Handmade Dinnerware
