About Perla Valtierra

Perla´s pieces are frank in the way that hand-made ceramics offer a view backward in time to the production of each piece. Formal qualities find their essence in the unique shapes, textures, edges, and hues. This honest expression lends beauty to the finish of each piece, and it is dually the inspiration for each design decision. The exacted proportions of the vessel come from the relation to the hand to the body to the object. Every flourish in clay connects the maker to the user, the hand that crafts to the hand that picks up. They are daily objects of quality because they lend themselves to the sensibilities of everyday use.

Following the teachings of philosopher & essayist Soetsu Yanagui, Perla's work is frank, sensual, and corporal, as it relates to the body in the handmade process, evident in the imprints of her signature pieces. These attributes will flood all of the homes that welcome her craft, making its users more sensitive to the qualities that talent and the handmade confers.

Our range of products goes from our hand-thrown one-of-a-kind signature vases and tableware, made by Don Jesus Torres, and our slip-cast editions.
