About Coimbra Ceramicas Iva

Manufacturing: Coimbra pottery is still produced according to traditional production processes. Each piece is completely handmade and goes through several steps. Firstly, in order to obtain the raw pottery, a mixture of several materials such as clay, kaolin, talcum and water is made and it is a first fired to 1040º-1150ºC. After this, the pieces are painted. This painting process involves traditional knowledge and secrets. The decorations is done entirely by hand, then signed and dated by the artisan, thus making each piece exclusive and unique. The final process involves dipping the pieces in glaze, which after a second firing to 1130º gives the pieces a typically milky tone. This last firing also makes the pieces durable so that they can be used in ovens and microwaves.
