Earth and water, this is how it all began. The earth is live-giving and when it is worked in any form with the hands, it is timelessly reborn in another shape. In our case, by the power of fire and air.\u00a0<\/p>

Each POEMI item and collection tells a story. We are inspired by things, experiences, and emotions from childhood. The plaster on the walls of the house, the passing of seasons which puts its mark\non all and everything, the table with the three-legged chairs we used to eat at, the wooden tray where the bread was kneaded.\u00a0<\/p>

Having such a source of inspiration, our purpose is to create shapes, textures, and glazes that inspire both chefs who want to emphasize their dishes as well as people who wish to share the joy of a meal with family and friends.<\/span><\/p>

Every POEMI piece comes to life through a meticulous process that takes at least four weeks to complete, with careful attention devoted to every stage of production.<\/p>

Depending on the material and the type of product, we use a variety of forming techniques\u2014from jiggering and trimming to hand-building. Once each piece has been shaped and carefully finished, it is left to dry naturally until it reaches the ideal moisture level for firing.<\/p>

The first firing, known as the bisque firing<\/em>, takes place in specialised electric kilns at temperatures between 950\u00b0C and 1,000\u00b0C. A complete firing cycle lasts approximately 48 hours.<\/p>

Each piece is then individually glazed before undergoing a second firing at temperatures ranging from 1,200\u00b0C to 1,250\u00b0C, depending on the stoneware body and the glaze used. This final firing vitrifies the ceramic, giving it the strength and durability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

  • Before first use.<\/strong>\u00a0Before using your POEMI ceramics for the first time, wash each piece with warm water and mild dishwashing detergent to remove any dust or residues that may have accumulated during transport.<\/li>
  • Handle with care. <\/strong>Although stoneware is exceptionally durable, it should still be handled with care. We recommend placing pieces gently in the sink or dishwasher and avoiding excessive stacking or direct contact between items to minimise the risk of chipping.<\/li>
  • Un-glazed surfaces. <\/strong>Some POEMI pieces feature unglazed areas that highlight the natural beauty of the clay. If these surfaces come into contact with strongly coloured foods, sauces, or beverages, we recommend washing the piece promptly to help prevent staining.<\/li>
  • Cutlery marks. <\/strong>Grey marks may occasionally appear on light-coloured glazes after contact with certain types of cutlery.\n\nThese marks are not defects or signs of poor quality. They are a normal result of metal particles being deposited on the glaze surface during use.\n\nThe marks can usually be removed using a powdered ceramic cleaner, a gentle cream cleanser, or a simple mixture of lemon juice and baking soda.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
