Crafting & Material

Faience is a type of ceramic that has its own unique qualities.

Historical Significance: Faience has a rich history dating back to ancient times. It was used extensively by the Egyptians, the Greeks, and other ancient civilizations for both utilitarian and decorative purposes.

Craftsmanship: The creation of faience objects often involves a higher level of craftsmanship than other mass-produced technics. Each piece is unique, reflecting the individual style and creativity of the artisan who made it.

Durability: Even if we craft it very thin, our faience is very durable. It's less likely to chip or crack than other technic items, which can make it a practical choice for everyday use.

Thermal Conductivity: Faience, due to its material properties, can maintain heat longer than most of other materials, making it a good choice for items like teapots, mugs, cups or serving dishes that need to keep things warm.
