Palomar Dinnerware
If you are searching for elegant yet functional dinnerware to use not only for special occasions, but also for every day use, then look to the ceramic studio that has been creating such high quality products for over thirty years – El Palomar. By using modern, high-temperature kilns that create a strong finish and assure a lead free product, El Palomar produces tableware that is not only beautiful but also chip and crack resistant, not to mention microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe.
The creation of El Palomar dinnerware begins with the mixing of special clays to fill the molds, followed by air-drying the forms in preparation for the first (low temperature) firing. Afterwards, the pieces are hand painted in original El Palomar designs, then fired at 2300 degrees Fahrenheit. It is this high firing temperature that creates such a durable finish, and at the same time subtle color variations are produced by precision oxygen reduction within the kiln. This makes El Palomar dinnerware an effective blend of modern technology with traditional ceramic craftsmanship, and La Fuente Imports is proud to offer this marriage of age-old ceramic traditions and modern ceramics technology. Slight variations in finish may occur due to the hand painting of each item, but this detail adds to the charm of every piece you will own.
"We have been using the Lotus pattern dishes regularly for over two years, for both everyday and special occasions. We cannot say enough good things about this tableware…its beauty, durability and serviceability are well beyond what we had hoped for."
