Hidden in the highlands of Huelva, Andalusia, a ceramic tradition survives: the cucharillas technique, named after the small spoons (cucharillas in Spanish) used to drop and guide pigment, creating its signature marbled surface and the locally known “mariposas” motif.

Today, this legacy rests in the hands of Enrique and José, the last artisans still practising the technique as their masters taught them, while hoping a new generation will step in to learn before it disappears.

We preserved the rustic, utilitarian essence of Huelva’s pottery by continuing to use its traditional clay, embracing its natural porosity and the fine crackle it develops over time.

From there, we reworked the shapes and colours for contemporary tables, balancing the marbled surface with exposed terracotta underneath, so the rural character of the craft remains visible in every piece.
