Dark Helecho - Dinner Plate - Fern Green (Set of 4)

Nestled in Colombia's Carmen del Viboral, just a stone's throw from Medellín, a vibrant community of ceramic artists thrives. Dating back to the 19th century, it has become the heart of Colombia's ceramic industry. Using materials sourced from the region's own rich deposits of feldspar and quartz, the base pieces (bizcocho) are made in local workshops and decorated by hand in the many studios in town.

The ceramic painting techniques of Carmen del Viboral are steeped in tradition and ancestral knowledge, passed down through generations. Each stroke and brushstroke tells a tale of cultural significance. The designs found on these hand-painted ceramic creations carry the indelible marks of indigenous and Spanish craftsmanship, embodying the unique blend of cultural heritage that defines the region. Furthermore, each piece is painted freehand, without relying on stencils or templates. It is a true testament to the artists' exceptional talent and passion.
