Did you know this about our ceramics?

All Pentik ceramics are made in our very own factory in Lapland, the northernmost ceramics factory in the world. Here, it all starts with clay, the nature’s own raw material. And here, Pentik ceramic pieces are cast in moulds and formed with a shaping machine, a press or by hand. Next, the cup handles are attached by hand and the edges of each piece are rounded. Then, it’s off to be bisque fired in our 900°C kiln.

Once that’s done, each piece is glazed, either mechanically or by hand dipping or spraying. Some of them are even hand-decorated, which is our factory’s specialty. After glazing and decorating, the products are fired again in a 1235-degree kiln. Any transfer images are then added by hand and the pieces are fired yet again, melting the images on to the glaze. When then firing process is complete, the bases of each item are smoothed out.

Each Pentik ceramics piece passes through dozens of loving hands before it’s ready to move into a new home – maybe even yours! If treated with love and care, Pentik ceramics can be handed down from generation to generation and used and enjoyed for decades to come.
