Turquoise
Ideal for turquoise lovers. This collection has been our star product over recent years when it comes to putting together a dinner service. It recalls the crystal-clear waters of our island. We create it using two techniques: the blurring technique, resulting in a turquoise colour tending towards sky blue, and the brushstroke technique, giving a more greenish-blue result. Some associate it with the colour cyan or aqua.
Its name comes from the colour of the turquoise gemstone.
With this type of glaze some cracking is almost inevitable, but this is an often appreciated and even desired effect in many ceramic pieces. These fine cracks that originate in the surface of the enamel when removed from the oven or sometime later are known as ‘croquelado’. Their external appearance can be transparent or opaque. They are most visible when exposed to direct light or when wet. It is inevitable, but such cracks and fine lines hold great appeal for those who appreciate them.
