GLAZED TERRACOTTA
Glazed Terracotta is a classic, unique and durable tile. Handmade in Mexico from Saltillo clay, one of the most admired clays in the world. Did you know that Clay Imports is the first company in the world to glaze Saltillo clay tile? For more than 300 years Mexican tile makers have been firing Saltillo clay. We were the first to ask how one would go about adding a glaze to Saltillo tile. We introduced glazing techniques similar to those from Moroccoto Saltillo, Mexico to create the beautiful Glazed Terracotta we offer today.
HANDCRAFTED CLAY
Handcrafted in Mexico, our Hand painted collection pays homage to the art of Mexican Talavera, Iberian cuerda seca techniques, and old world hand painted terracotta. Talavera, the gorgeous colorful tiling that you are probably familiar with, has a deep history going back to Islamic rule in Portugal and Spain.
CLAY POCO CERAMICS
Poco x Clay blends our love for all things clay and artisanal ceramics to curate a collection of tableware and small good ceramics catering to everyone, from large scale hospitality projects to small good ceramics. All our ceramics are hand crafted in Guanajuato, Mexico.
EQUIPALE
Handcrafted equipales were first designed over 500 years ago by skilled Aztec artisans in central Mexico. Artisans used regional and organic materials to craft furniture that provided both comfort and aesthetic pleasure. They inspired a design concept that artisans have been passing down through generations, standing the test of time. Today, authentic equipale furniture is handmade in Zacoalco de Torres, Jalisco. A small town located south of Guadalajara.
