High-Fire Stoneware
From Tonalá, Jalisco, Mexico
Stoneware fired at over 1200°C in wood-burning kilns. Local clays from Jalisco are shaped by hand on traditional wheels, then glazed with formulas developed from volcanic ash and mineral pigments. The high-fire process creates exceptionally durable, non-porous ceramics with rich, organic surfaces.

Care Guide
Dishwasher safe for functional pieces. For decorative items, wipe with a damp cloth. High-fire stoneware is extremely durable and resistant to staining. Handle with care to avoid chipping edges.
Sustainability
Locally sourced clay and wood-fired kilns keep the carbon footprint minimal. Ash from firings is returned to local farms as soil amendment.
