The Bees and the Stone
A fable of the everyday
The idea of this collection was to create companions of the everyday. A set of tableware to treasure through daily use. Clean, easy lines as a subtle backdrop to evening meals and morning coffees.
The simplicity of the form is deceptive.
The clean shape puts the focus on the material, colour and technique.
The collection is contemporary and everyday for life. A fable of the everyday.
The clay comes from the earth and is worked using only natural materials.
Beeswax and Stone
This series of clay tableware is made in the Sierra Mixteca, Puebla, by a small community, where they pick the clay from the mountains around the town.
The colour of the clay is natural, coming from the mixture of clay and a local stone powder. The pieces are fired with wood in a brick oven, without the use of oil, gas or electricity. They are burnished - an ancient technique which involves polishing the pieces with a hard stone like quartz. This process closes the pores of the clay making it watertight and creates a unique shine and soft texture without any glaze.
To create a vibrant colour and shine the pieces are then showered in liquid beeswax, creating a very thin cover that penetrates the first layers of the clay, to add an extra watertight layer without changing the taste of your food and it is resistant to boiling liquids.
Beauty in use
The pieces are very good thermal insulators, making them perfect to carry hot drinks and food without imparting heat to your hands.
The plates colour gradually through use, aging gracefully.

The Bees and the Stone collection*
A fable of the everyday
The idea of this collection was to create companions of the everyday. A set of tableware to treasure through daily use. Clean, easy lines as a subtle backdrop to evening meals and morning coffees. The clay comes from the earth and is worked using only natural materials.
This tableware is made in the town of Reyes, Puebla, by a small community, where artisans take the clay from the mountains around the town using traditional tools. The pieces are burnished - an ancient technique that involves polishing the pieces with a hard stone or a metallic soft tool. This process closes the pores of the clay making it watertight, and creates a unique shine and soft texture without any glaze. Then the pieces are fired with wood in a brick oven at 1100 degrees, without the use of oil, gas or electricity. This makes them harder and resistant to high temperatures in the kitchen. Finally the artisans shower the pieces with artesanal liquid beeswax, which adds a second watertight protection and gives a beautiful shine.
The colour of each piece (black, red and beige) is natural, coming from the oven process as well as the mixture with other stones from the Mixteca region.
The natural clay is a very good thermal insulator. It does not get hot with boiling water, so it will protect your fingers when your drink is too hot.
These are food safe but it should be noted that with use they will become permanently stained if any foods with oil or color are put on them which is part of the unique magic of the natural background of its production, this characteristic is what makes that world known restaurants use them in their menu as you can not get this effect with any other industrial type of production.

The pieces are burnished - an ancient technique that involves polishing the pieces with a hard stone or a metallic soft tool. This process closes the pores of the clay making it watertight, and creates a unique shine and soft texture without any glaze. Then the pieces are fired with wood in a brick oven at 1100 degrees, without the use of oil, gas or electricity. This makes them harder and resistant to high temperatures in the kitchen. Finally the artisans shower the pieces with artesanal liquid beeswax, which adds a second watertight protection and gives a beautiful shine. The colour of each piece (black, red and beige) is natural, coming from the oven process as well as the mixture with other stones from the Mixteca region.
