Plato pequeño (Small plate) made of stoneware with a unique treatment. Dimensions: 22x22x4cm.


Plato pequeño (Small plate) is a piece made of stoneware to embellish your table. Each piece receives an individualized surface treatment that makes it a unique and unrepeatable work, with the handwritten signature of its author. All our pieces are made 100% by hand in Malaga. The support is not included in the price. The phase that most characterizes our work is the surface treatment. It is always done by hand and individually in each piece with the technique called wax reserve. We have adopted this ancient technique, delving into all its possibilities and providing some differential aspects that adapt it to our form of expression.

Plato pequeño (Small plate) embellishes your table.

The technique for applying the surface treatment is based on the reciprocal repulsion between the wax and the water used as a vehicle for the application of the iron and manganese oxides and the ash glazes that we also formulate. One way to increase the graphic possibilities of the wax reserve is to complement it with another ancient technique: sgraffito. The resulting mixed technique in a chromatic range that includes the black and red of the oxides and the whites, ochres, and blues of the ash glaze, confers the distinctive character of our ceramics. The different models of trays, bowls and plates are made with high-temperature clays: stoneware, refractory and porcelain. These are the materials used to make the pieces, sometimes from plates pressed in a rolling mill, others by reproducing them in plaster molds made from prototypes of our creation, others using the traditional potter's wheel. They are elaborate pieces, decorated and glazed in crude oil that are baked in a single firing at 1200º C in an oxidizing atmosphere. All our pieces are inspired by the Mediterranean ceramic tradition throughout history, but they adopt their contemporary appearance thanks to the stylization and synthesis of forms carried out by the Alfajar artists.

Important information

All the pieces are different and unique, that is what it makes them special . After the purchase process, you will receive a piece with the same style as the one you are seeing, but the drawings and final finish of the enamels may vary a little. Everything is hand made.

Can I put water inside my ceramic?

There are some models that are designed expressly for that, as is the case of vases. These models are enameled inside, which waterproofs them and prepares them for use with water. In the event that they are not enameled inside, it could easily be refilled with water, but the base would ooz a little water, like the example of Spanish “botijo”. The ceramic body would not be damaged but a small plate would have to be placed underneath.
