The delicate yet strong porcelain cup conveys a sense of life. It rests softly in the hand and completes the enjoyment of a warm coffee or tea with its smooth shape. The cup can be seen as an accessory to beautiful moments in life.

The PURA porcelain collection is manufactured in a small porcelain factory near Aveiro, in northern Portugal. With experience and passion, the team turns our design into small works of art.

Porcelain is traditionally used for special occasions and adorns the great moments of life. However, its durability also makes it suitable for everyday use. The dish collection consists of seven shapes and three colors. Our collection features a rim about 1.5 cm wide at the top, which appears matte. The rest is covered with a shiny, transparent glaze. The porcelain can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Unlike ceramics, the color is not obtained by applying a glaze that reveals its true beauty of color only after firing. The porcelain clay mixture is stirred with color particles, so the porcelain is colored throughout. The inclusion of color pigments results in a non-homogeneous color progression, which underscores the uniqueness of the products.

It is important to ensure that the porcelain is not exposed to dramatic temperature fluctuations (e.g., pouring hot liquid into an ice-cold bowl or cup), as this can lead to cracking.

Our first porcelain collection: PURA

The place where the delicate pieces are created: this too brings the collection into harmony. The porcelain manufactory is located near Aveiro—in the cool north of Portugal. The small business specializes in the production of aesthetic home accessories and tableware. Delicate shapes are crafted by hand by a small team. We share the joy of design and the material clay, which is shaped into many small artworks at this beautiful place.

Porcelain for special moments

Porcelain is traditionally used for special occasions and adorns life's grand moments. Due to its durability, it is also suitable for daily use and can be put in the dishwasher.

The tableware also makes a wonderful wedding, Christmas, or birthday gift. Or as a gift to oneself, to indulge in something special for many years.

The products are particularly delicate on one hand, yet extremely robust due to their hardness. Thus, they leave an interesting impression of delicacy and strength. For cooks and friends of special culinary delights, the shapes of our porcelain serve as an attractive canvas on which dishes are elegantly and invitingly presented.

Questions & Answers

What is porcelain, actually?

Porcelain has a history: In China, porcelain was made during the Tang Dynasty using a firing process with two ores: feldspar and kaolin. This process has undergone some changes over the centuries. Today, porcelain ceramic is made from the raw materials kaolin, feldspar, quartz, and clay. It differs from other ceramic products by the presence of three unique and fundamental technical properties. These are hardness, whiteness, and translucency. Porcelain has high mechanical strength, low porosity, and high density, giving it durability, harmlessness, a soft feel, and beauty in everyday use. Porcelain is created by higher firing temperatures and is largely insensitive to temperature fluctuations - it is fired at up to 1400°C, making the material robust. Each piece of porcelain undergoes a process of designing, composing, shaping, drying, decorating, and firing, resulting in tangible quality.

What are the differences from other ceramic materials?

Porcelain, stoneware, and earthenware are often confused, but here are the differences: Translucency: Porcelain is uniquely translucent because it is glazed and fired at 1,400ºC, giving it brightness and whiteness and an extra dose of stability. Composition: Porcelain contains feldspar, kaolin, silica, and clay. In contrast, stoneware and earthenware contain silica and clay, with earthenware having more clay than kaolin. Porosity: Porcelain has almost no porosity compared to other ceramic products, making it hygienic and ideal for frequent use. Earthenware and stoneware, on the other hand, are porous, with the latter being glazed to significantly reduce porosity. In summary, porcelain is made from four raw materials, giving it high resistance and unique translucency. As a pore-free material, it is extremely hygienic and, thanks to its delicacy and beauty, suitable for every occasion. Porcelain is ideal for those looking for something sophisticated, exclusive, and durable.
