These unique pieces are the almost magical result of firing in a historic Arab oven and the mastery of its potters in Úbeda (Jaén).

Operating an Arab oven requires extraordinary preliminary work from master artisans who, with their hands, effort, and dedication, mold, glaze, and decorate hundreds of pieces—jars, washbasins, platters... even statues!—that will remain in the Arab oven for over 30 hours, in heat fueled by pomace (crushed olive pits), reaching a temperature of 1000ºC, and always under the watchful eye of potters familiar with techniques used for centuries, which they continue to pass down from generation to generation.

When the oven cools, unique and unrepeatable objects begin to appear, with glazes full of nuances and the strength of clay fired over time, created by the hands and techniques of the artisans and the alchemy that occurs within the Arab oven.
