The six shapes
Six shapes is the whole range. We have made the same six since 2009 and have no plans for a seventh.
01
190 euro
The 26cm Braiser
Oven to table to fridge. The one most people start with.

165 euro
The 24cm Deep Skillet
Sears on the hob, finishes in the oven, keeps its heat on the board.
03
210 euro
The 3.5L Stockpot
Stock, beans, and the long Sunday braise nobody watches.

The 1.2L Saucier
Sauces, grains, and dinner for one without apology.

175 euro
The 32cm Roasting Plate
A whole chicken with room around it, potatoes underneath.
The 26cm Braiser, 190 euro, oven to table to fridge — the piece we would keep if we could only keep one.
Four glazes
Four glazes: Ash, Ox Blood, Fig, Raw. Every one is food-safe and lead-free, tested twice a year. Each pot takes the fire differently, so no two leave the kiln identical.
Ash
Pale, matte, moves in the fire
Ox Blood
Deep red, pooling at the foot
Fig
Bruised purple, near black in shade
Raw
Unglazed outside, glazed within
How it is fired

01
Thrown
Every piece is thrown on the wheel in Coimbra, one of six shapes, no moulds.
02
Glazed
Dipped by hand in one of four glazes, food-safe and lead-free, tested twice a year.
03
Fired
Flame-fired to 1280°C over two days. The kiln decides the last ten percent.
04
Checked and boxed
Rung for tone, checked for crazing, signed by the four people who made it.
