Description

These natural plates are finished with beeswax, made using natural clay. Their tan colour evolves through use, charting the life of the plates. PRODUCTION This series of clay tableware is made in the town of Reyes, Puebla, by a small community, where the tradition is for women to pick the clay from the mountains around the town. The colour of the clay is natural, coming from the mixture of clay & a local stone powder. The pieces are fired with wood in a brick oven, without the use of oil, gas or electricity. They are burnished - an ancient technique which involves polishing the pieces with a hard stone like quartz. This process closes the pores of the clay making it watertight & creates a unique shine & soft texture without any glaze. To create a vibrant colour & shine the pieces are then showered in liquid beeswax, creating a very thin cover that penetrates the first layers of the clay, to add an extra watertight layer without changing the taste of your food & it is resistant to boiling liquids. The pieces are very good thermal insulators, making them perfect to carry hot drinks & food without imparting heat to your hands. SIZE 15 cm. Diameter 2 cm. High CARE Even though our pieces can resist high temperatures we recommend not to put them in direct contact with fire or for a long time in the oven. Hand wash only. A natural soap & a sponge is enough to clean them & preserve the beautiful shine for a long time. The pieces are natural & over time will deepen in colour. You can be confident using forks, spoons & table knives with these products. Take care with sharp knives as they can scratch the piece, but there is no need to be afraid of scratches or stains as they are part of the story of the object. IMPORTANT - These are food safe but it should be noted that with use they will become permanently stained if any foods with oil or color are put on them which is part of the unique magic of the natural background of its production, this characteristic is what makes that world known restaurants use them in their menu as you can not get this effect with any other industrial type of production. 8 Side Plates 15 cm Natural Beeswax Finish - Handmade Clay Tableware Set Plates
