Description

Hand-crafted in the small town of Ponedera on Colombia's Caribbean coast, the Alegre Bowl celebrates the quiet beauty of simplicity. Made from locally sourced white clay, each piece is shaped, smoothed and burnished by hand into a gently organic, three-legged form with a soft, hand-polished sheen.

Its name means “cheerful” in Spanish, and the clean sculptural silhouette sits beautifully on any table — generous enough for fruit, salads, or simply as a decorative centrepiece.

about the artisan

The Potters of Ponedera

In the town of Ponedera, along the scenic banks of the Magdalena River, a community of skilled potters has been moulding white clay into art for generations. Inspired by the patterns of the Magdalena river turtle, their traditional shapes and decorations have stood the test of time. Recently, a cooperative called Arcillas de Puerto Alegre has formed, bringing together 12 local families and improving working conditions. With the support of the local government, they have installed a state-of-the-art communal oven, elevating the quality of their pottery. Additionally, by experimenting with tinted clay, they have created mesmerising marbled effects on their pieces. This revitalisation of interest in their art not only supports the community's livelihood but also preserves the cultural heritage of Ponedera.

The pottery of Ponedera represents a tangible connection to the town's identity. The potters' dedication to their craft tells a story of resilience and a deep connection to the land and river. In this tranquil oasis, the potters of Ponedera continue to shape clay into art, honouring the past, embracing the present, and shaping the future of their cherished ceramic tradition.
