Spanish ceramics from Spain
Spanish ceramics and pottery gifts from Spain | Andalucía | Almería. We have a base in Almeria, Andalucia, southern Spain and have access to some of the best hand-made and hand-painted Spanish pottery and ceramics. Spanish ceramics / pottery is renowned for its bright, vibrant colours and patterns - reflecting for many the style and way of life of Mediterranean Spain. Many of the designs and patterns have existed for centuries and are part of the Spanish culture and tradition. The region of Andalucia in the south is still a big centre for this pottery - especially around Granada and Malaga, where there are family run pottery factories that have existed for generations. Even today, much of the Spanish pottery and ceramics is hand-crafted by artisans so that each piece is unique - plates, vases, dishes, wine pitchers, and so on. Our shop has select examples of these Spanish ceramics - in our case, mostly featuring the Indalo symbol of Almeria. The style of Spanish life - particularly of the Mediterranean coast, shines through these products and makes you think of the searing sun, the warm blue sea, hot days and evenings with friends, a glass of Rioja, a plate of olives, ham and almonds with some tapas, chorizo, and sardines grilled in the open air 'a la plancha'.
