Pablo Tito & The Coolest Pottery On Earth…So Far :)

November 9, 2013 at 12:15 pm • Posted in Art, Spain by Lisa

In the small town of Ubeda, Spain we stumbled upon Pablo Tito, a third generation potter, who is carrying on the traditions of the most famous potter in Spain. Pablo runs a small shop and museum dedicated to the history of his family and “everyday” objects. The style of his pieces and the processes he uses in creating and firing his objects have been passed down from his grandfather and father. Tito Pottery maintains and operates one of the only Arab-type kilns in Spain which contributes to the uniqueness of each piece!

Signature green glaze on all shape and size pieces

I instantly fell in love with everything about Tito Pottery and have come to learn that they actually offer workshops in their studio!!! Arts and crafts buddies of mine, mark your calendars…we are coming back someday and taking a class 😉

Paco’s pottery is very reasonably priced! A gorgeous 12-inch high pitcher is around 12 euro or $16 USD. But shipping proves to be a logistical challenge (Jason Winnie…we needed your skills!!!) and therefore we had to settle for buying two coffee mugs that we now use each day for our morning coffee 😉

Wescott using his MIHS Spanish as well as Converse (cool app on iPad) to talk to Pablo about shipping.

Count Tito Pottery as the second thing we would have offered (after caper leaves) in our mythical import business. Instead we will just have to admire the pictures and go back someday to take a class!

Que bonita! Espana looks gorgeous – hope you are getting lots of great food to eat, too, along with the scenery, sites and pottery. It must be hard not wanting to buy everything everywhere you go…! jean

I think that Jason would be happy to fly over and he could personally help you with shipping issues….:-) when he gets back from Brazil…..

Lisa- Let me know if your serious on pulling in some goods. I will need some specifics on exact location, there shipping capabilities, dimensions, weights ect. We do some consolidation somewhere centrally to accumulate goods and then slow boat home!!!!!
