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, with around 80 workshops active and the work divided into distinct, highly specialised roles.

Even now, with only a handful of ateliers still open, that structure remains, with throwers dedicated solely to form and painters to decoration, a rare level of specialisation that makes these pieces truly exceptional.

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

Tiry shapes each piece from Puente’s fine, almost porcelain-like local clay, while Conchi and Marcial at Cerámicas Abad recover the naïve line of the 18th and 19th centuries against its signature off-white ground, creating pieces rooted in tradition yet entirely contemporary.
