When you choose a piece from this remarkable collection, you will own a beautiful object crafted from red clay and shaped by the hands of José Alves, one of the last Portuguese potters to master the traditional potter's wheel.

This family pottery workshop, whose roots go back to his great-great-grandfather, still operates in its original location today. "I thought the future of our workshop was uncertain, but one of my daughters joined me and brought a new creative dimension with her artistic hand-painted decorations," he says with pride.

Known as "Olaria de barro vermelho", Alentejo red clay is especially valued for functional cookware and tableware. It is particularly suited to slow cooking: "In a terracotta pot, meat becomes exceptionally tender," José Alves explains, reflecting both his expertise and his passion for this enduring craft.
