The pottery from La Mancha was part of the lives of the people of the Golden Age, including those of the Cervantes family.
Used in homes and restaurants across Spain for cooking and serving a whole variety of dishes. Pottery is the name of the art that produces the production of baked clay products. They also receive the name of the stores where the vessels are sold and the workshop in which they are manufactured. In general, the concept of pottery is used to refer to those pieces made without enamel or with varnish applied in a single firing. That is why the potter differs from the potter, since he adds enamels and uses different techniques in his pieces, with more than one firing. So important, not only for mere decorative pleasure, but also for utility to develop various tasks of daily life, has been the pottery throughout history that today, in addition to the objects cited, have been many elements of this type belonging to ancient times. The Pucheros of La Mancha are unique due to the composition of clays found in the area and because they are made from two different types of clay. They are composed of a heavy, slow-drying red clay which gives the pieces its strength, and a white clay containing quartz, feldspar, and mica that can be seen with the naked eye and gives the pieces its refractive properties |
