The Pepita | Lila

At our workshop in the vibrant city of Madrid, Spain, we pour our passion and expertise into crafting each and every product you find on our website. With meticulous attention to detail, we ensure that every piece is 100% handmade, adding a touch of authenticity and uniqueness to your collection.

To guarantee the highest quality and longevity, we exclusively utilize high-temperature clay in our creations. This carefully selected material not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of our products but also ensures their exceptional durability over time.

Most of our pots are expertly thrown on traditional potter's wheels or are masterfully hand-built using various techniques such as slab, coil, or pinching.

We use an electric kiln for firing. Each piece undergoes two rounds of firing, elevating its strength and resilience. The initial firing, known as the bisque fire, reaches temperatures of up to 1000°C and lasts approximately 7 hours and 30 minutes. After this, the piece is allowed to cool down for a day, preparing it for the next phase.

The second and typically final firing, known as the glaze fire, is a crucial step in enhancing the beauty and functionality of our pottery. With temperatures ranging between 1225-1250°C, depending on the specific glazes employed, this meticulous process takes around 10 hours. Following this, the piece is given an additional 24 hours to cool down.

At our core, we value sustainability and eco-consciousness. That's why each and every one of our creations is thoughtfully gift wrapped in packaging that is completely free of plastic, minimizing our environmental impact. Additionally, we take pride in personalizing your experience by offering the option to include a special note with your purchase.

All our pottery pieces are food-safe, giving you the freedom to use them with confidence. Moreover, our products are microwave and dishwasher-safe.

Indulge in the artistry, craftsmanship, and functionality that define our handmade pottery. Let our creations become an extension of your unique style and elevate your living spaces with their timeless beauty.
