Natural terracotta ramekin handcrafted in Portugal using ancestral methods, yet simplified in form and free from folkloric ornaments.
Terracotta cookware is renowned for providing gentle, even cooking that preserves natural flavors and enhances the taste of dishes. In addition, terracotta retains heat for a long time, which is ideal for serving at the table.
Here, the terracotta is glazed, which prevents the absorption of fats and liquids, making the ramekin healthier, easier to clean, and more resistant to stains.
The use of local clay from Alentejo and the entirely handmade production in a century-old workshop ensure the ethical and eco-friendly nature of this piece.

When you choose a piece from this remarkable collection, you are privileged to own an object in red clay, shaped by the hands of José Alves, one of the last potters still using local terracotta.
This family pottery business, rooted in his great-great-grandfather’s time, remains in the same place today. "I thought the continuity of our craft was at risk, but one of my daughters came to lend me a hand..." he recalls with emotion.
Red clay, known as "Olaria de barro vermelho," is particularly well-suited to functional tableware and is especially famous for cooking stews: "In a terracotta pot, the meat becomes incredibly tender," says José Alves, testifying to his expertise and love for his craft.
