Yes. Every Pietra Handmade piece is hand-thrown and hand-painted, made one at a time by artisans in Puglia, Italy.
Because of this, no two pieces are ever exactly the same. Variations in shape, color, and pattern are not flaws — they are the signature of true handmade work.
Our splatterware and drip pieces are created using a layered glaze technique, where liquid clay is applied by hand and intentionally allowed to drip, splatter, and move freely. Each piece develops its own rhythm. No two splatters, drips, or brush movements are ever repeated.
These differences are what make each piece unique, expressive, and alive — meant to be mixed, matched, and lived daily.

All Pietra Handmade ceramics are made in Puglia, Italy, in small workshops by skilled artisans who carry forward generations of ceramic tradition.
