Preserving the essence of earth, crafted for durability in porcelain.
Our porcelain is much more durable than traditional earthenware and doesn’t absorb water. One of the standout features of Percent Porcelains is our specialized firing process, which effectively removes impurities from the clay, resulting in a dense and durable product.
Our porcelain has the look and feel of earthenware but doesn’t require any labor-intensive sealing. It allows you to enjoy the beauty of the natural material as if you were touching the earth itself.
The unglazed parts of our porcelain pieces remind you of childhood mud pies. With everyday use, these areas become smoother and more resilient, enhancing the texture and strength of the ware.
We employ a specialized firing method known as ‘reduction firing,’ which involves firing our pieces at 1300°C for 24 hours. This method is distinct from the more commonly used oxidation firing, which is favored in the production of general goods due to its ability to enhance color vibrancy and reduce manufacturing costs. However, oxidation firing does not offer the same level of water resistance or durability as needed for commercial tableware.
At Percent Porcelains, we deliberately opt for a 24-hour reduction firing at 1300°C. This process not only eliminates impurities from the clay but also compacts it to a high density, thereby maximizing the properties of the porcelain clay.
To prevent leakage and cracking, a specific treatment is required before the first use.
