Machine washing is not recommended but hand wash only due to possible discoloration because of the harsh environment within automatic dish washers.

The clay is extracted from mines located around La Chamba, Chipuelo and El Colegio villages in Colombia . With the use of donkeys and now bicycles and small trucks, the Indians transport the amounts of clay needed for the next batch production use to the workplaces. The clay is dried and converted into powder with the use of a mortar and all the impurities are removed by use of sieves. After that the clay powder is mixed with water to produce a soft and flexible dough ready for use.

The natural clay contains no toxins such as lead and no glazes are applied with the satin finish being achieved as a result of polishing with pebbles You can feel safe and confident using this unique and authentic traditional clay cook/dinnerware.

In an attempt to keep the cost down we import this product directly from the Artisans in Colombia.
