Made from refractory terracotta clay, this traditional Portuguese cooking pot features a porous earthenware body that provides excellent heat conduction and helps retain heat longer. Each piece is hand-painted, giving every pot its own unique character and reflecting the traditional craftsmanship of Cerâmica Edgar Picas.

Terracotta cookware is traditionally used to prepare meals with little water and is well suited for cooking traditional dishes. Its heat-retaining properties make it ideal for preparing food in the oven or on the stovetop.
