Puente del Arzobispo was once one of Spain’s most renowned ceramic towns, with pieces travelling to courts across Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries.

At its height, nearly 80 workshops were active, each part of a highly specialised system where form and decoration were created by different hands. Today, only a handful of ateliers remain, preserving a rare way of making that gives these pieces their exceptional character.

We revisited Puente’s 18th- and 19th-century drawings, selecting the motifs that best captured the spirit of the period. Their scale, spacing and composition were then reworked to create a lighter, more contemporary rhythm.

Tiry shapes each piece from Puente’s fine, almost porcelain-like local clay. Conchi and Marcial, at Cerámicas Abad, recover the expressive hand-painted lines of the period over the collection’s signature off-white ground.

The result is a series of pieces rooted in tradition, yet made to feel entirely at home today.
