The Manufacturing
A Loja da Ceramica works with Portuguese family workshops specializing in ceramics, where the craft is passed down from generation to generation.
Each piece, shaped and decorated by hand, reflects the artisans' talent. All our collections are developed in partnership with the potters.
Produced on demand, these unique creations combine tradition and modernity to offer timeless and one-of-a-kind pieces.
Nélia Patalim®
Nélia Patalim® is a potter from a remote village in Alentejo, where this artcraft is practiced since the roman times.
Nélia Patalim® represents the 8th generation of painters in her family pottery studio. She has a true gift when it comes to painting. Each time it's a marvel to see her paint. Magic comes from her fingers and hands!
Each piece is handmade on the wheel, hand-painted by Nélia Patalim® and three other women of the team, and then enamelled by Bruno. All the ceramics are signed by Nélia Patalim®. A team work to create such beauties!
Nélia Patalim® is the potter of the famous collection Festas.
Antonio Janeiro
Antonio is from the same village as Nélia. This village in Alentejo is quite reknown for its ceramics, and is called the capital of Ceramics in Portugal.
Antonio is very skilled because not only does he handmade the ceramics on the wheel but he hand-paints too.
So he makes each piece by himself from the beginning to the final touch.
He is the potter of three of A loja da Cerâmica collections : Mediterranea, Flores do Alentejo and Fleur Bleue.
