Description
In rice living we go a long way to making you feel home – in a home with a personal touch. This ceramic series is no exception. We’ve called this gorgeous series “Hand-painted” because it’s handmade and hand-painted by amazing women in Portugal. Operated by women, this company handles every aspect of production — from painting to firing to packing — ensuring a truly artisanal touch in every creation.
It takes special talent and workmanship to hand-paint ceramics, and it's an ancient craft that is slowly fading away. Not many people learn it anymore, and it's difficult to find employees who possess that skill.
The process can be intricated. Depending on the design and expression, each piece may undergo multiple firings in the kiln (oven).
First, the clay arrives in large tubes and is then machine-cut into smaller pieces. These pieces are molded using a mold called "biscuit". Then the formed pieces undergo firing in a kiln at 1050 degrees for 9-10 hours, followed by a day of drying. Once dried, they are meticulously sponged by hand to achieve a smooth surface. After another day of drying, each piece is carefully hand-painted and glazed. They are then fired again in a kiln, this time at 1030 degrees for 9 hours. This process can be done several times, depending on the design.
Finally, a logo is stamped onto the finished product, which then undergoes quality control checks before being packed for distribution.
