It is in the heart of the Alentejo that Estremoz pottery flourishes, an art that perpetuates the region’s tradition and culture. The pieces are unique and authentic works of art, full of history and meaning.
Over the years, the art of pottery has developed and improved, influenced by different cultures and styles.
Thus, the production of the pieces involves a meticulous artisanal process that requires a lot of skill and dedication. The material used is clay from the region’s mines, carefully prepared and molded by the experienced hands of the artisans. The pieces are then fired in traditional ovens using ancient techniques.
Olaria de Estremoz is very special because of its unique and authentic decoration. The pieces are hand-painted with traditional elements from the region, with vibrant colors and patterns that give them an irresistible charm.
In short, the pieces from Estremoz Pottery are much more than simple household utensils. They are works of art that reflect the soul and identity of the Alentejo.
You can find the pieces in craft and souvenir stores throughout the Alentejo region. You can also visit the artisans’ workshops and see how the pieces are made up close. The Estremoz National Craft Fair, which takes place every year in August, is also a good opportunity to buy pieces of Estremoz pottery.
