Pottery & Ceramics
Pottery and ceramics are at the very heart of Kiki Bazaar. It’s where we began — on a sourcing trip through the Alentejo region of Portugal, chasing the bright, hand-painted pieces the Iberian Peninsula does like nowhere else. Everything here we’ve found in person, in the workshops where it’s made. No two pieces are quite alike, and that’s exactly the point.
From the workshops of Portugal, Spain & beyond
Portugal and Spain have produced characterful, high-quality ceramics for centuries, and they still do it by hand today. We’re proud to carry hand-painted Portuguese ceramics from the Caldas da Rainha region — the home of the original fish jug tradition — alongside the work of celebrated Spanish maker IvanRos of Córdoba.
Further afield, we source hand-thrown ceramics from Bat Trang, the 700-year-old pottery village near Hanoi in Vietnam, plus a handful of unique pieces from Morocco and Japan that we couldn’t leave behind.

Caring for hand-painted ceramics
Because each piece is hand-painted, we recommend hand-washing to keep the glaze and colours at their brightest for years. For the full rundown, see our guide on how to care for hand-painted ceramic dinnerware.
