Socarrat is an original piece that has a unique surface treatment, handmade with iron oxides, manganese, cobalt and ash glazes, combining reserve wax and sgraffito techniques. Fired in single firing at 1250\u00ba C in an oxidizing atmosphere. The entire process is carried out in our Alfajar workshop and by the hand of our artisans; each piece has the handwritten signature of its author.<\/p>\n
In its medieval origin, the socarrat were decorated clay plates, intended to be placed between beams, on roofs and eaves of buildings. Very typical of the Spanish east, in Valencian, socarrat means “scorched”. In Alfajar we use this historical support with a different perspective and our own style, creating unique pieces.<\/p>\n
The Alfajar imaginary of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figures together with the pure abstraction of lines and colors adapt perfectly to the different scales. In small format we can find from the mythical bulls, to the classic plates, bottles or jewelery boxes. An infinity of shapes that will fill your home with warmth. All these pieces are made 100% by hand in Malaga, Spain and bear the handwritten signature of their author.<\/p>\n
After 30 years of experience we can affirm that the objective of Alfajar is to express the inner relationship of each person with the world, and therefore, with the nature around them. In this case through small pieces or vases, transferring that relationship with the world to ceramic volume and in this case with the wide range of bottles and vases that we have.<\/p>\n
All our pieces are inspired by the traditional ceramic shapes of the different cultures that have populated the Mediterranean: Etruscan, Iberian, Mycenaean, Muslim, Greek and Roman, although treated with a coherence of style that implies a geometric stylization of the silhouettes and a simplification of volumes and structures. Cubism and expressionism also play a very important role in our work. Our intention is to achieve that synthesis between the simplification of classical Mediterranean forms and the avant-garde of the 20th century.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Refractory clay plate, with appliqu\u00e9 to hang on the wall.
