Red clay, a natural treasure with a rich history, is found in the heart of Barreiro da Faneca, Portugal. For centuries, this place has been the source of excellence for potters, who have extracted its unique properties to create beautiful, long-lasting pieces. As the sun sets over the Hengifoss waterfall in Fljotsdalur, Nordurl Mulasysla, Iceland, one can't help but marvel at the earth's natural palette. This red clay, reminiscent of the hue seen in the Icelandic landscape, has also graced the Mediterranean shores of the Balearic Islands, specifically Ibiza. Agriculture thrives on its fertile soil, a testament to its nourishing capabilities. The legacy of this red clay extends back to ancient times, as evidenced by the works of Julius Caesar's Italian potter, Mino da Fiesole, who masterfully crafted pieces from its depths.
