Stoneware

We work exclusively with stoneware — a robust, vitrified clay that offers both durability and versatility.

Our stoneware comes in four color bodies:
-White (light cream)
-Black (deep charcoal)
-Grey (mid-tone, neutral blend)
-Terracotta (warm, earthy clay red-brown)

These natural clays serve as the foundation for every piece, enabling distinctive finishes and effects.

Colors

We have a wide range of glazes that give each pot its unique appearance. Our glazes vary in color, finish and reactivity, including:

– Translucent glazes that reveal the underlying clay texture
– Matte finishes for soft, subtle surfaces
– Glossy finishes for reflective, luminous effects
– Reactive glazes that create dynamic, unpredictable patterns

This combination of clay body and glaze allows us to explore an almost infinit palette.

Textures

One of the defining hallmarks of Borralheira pots lies in the tactile richness of their surfaces.

We can apply a variety of textures and stamps that bring depth, movement and personality to each piece.

The interplay of patterns and reliefs transforms every pot into a unique work of art, where every curve and impression tells its own story.
