Prado Ceramics is a unique stoneware success story of the synergistic blending of stoneware
designs from Rodo Padilla and Juan Prado. Prado, renown restaurateur of the very popular La
Terraza de la Abuela, explored stoneware production possibilities for his restaurants with Rodo
Padilla. While Padilla sought more time for creating fine art sculptures in his studios, Juan
Prado expanded his expertise in high temperature fired ceramics and eventually took over the
stoneware production. The happy result of their relationship is the continuation of the ever
popular Mug Tree and Accessories line by Padilla and the fabulous square tableware designs and
bold new glazes from Prado.

STONEWARE PRODUCT INFORMATION
Stoneware
A very durable material, stoneware will last for years while keeping its original beauty. Each
piece is fired twice at a high temperature and finished by hand. Minor imperfections are therefore a common characteristic of hand-finished stoneware products. Strict quality control has been established to ensure you the highest quality possible at the best price.
Glazes
There are many factors that determine variations in colors that result from high-fired glazed
stoneware, many of which are a challenge to control. Therefore, each piece is
unique and there are often
variations in color. Only
lead free glazes are used and the product is tested to ensure that there are no traces of either lead or
cadmium.
