Extra Small Oval Ceramic Espresso Cup - Cream - Hand-painted LOVE

In rice living we go a long way to making you feel home – in a home with a personal touch. This ceramic series is no exception. We’ve called this gorgeous series “Hand-painted” because it’s handmade and hand-painted by amazing women in Portugal. Operated by women, this company handles every aspect of production — from painting to firing to packing — ensuring a truly artisanal touch in every creation.

First, the clay arrives in large tubes and is then machine-cut into smaller pieces. These pieces are molded using a mold called "biscuit". Then the formed pieces undergo firing in a kiln at 1050 degrees for 9-10 hours, followed by a day of drying. Once dried, they are meticulously sponged by hand to achieve a smooth surface. After another day of drying, each piece is carefully hand-painted and glazed. They are then fired again in a kiln, this time at 1030 degrees for 9 hours. This process can be done several times, depending on the design.

Finally, a logo is stamped onto the finished product, which then undergoes quality control checks before being packed for distribution.
