Description:

Alfajar is a family business founded in Malaga in 1994, by José Angel Ruiz and Lola Díaz, who together with their two daughters are engaged in the manufacture and marketing of creative ceramics. Its products are characterized by their original design, craftsmanship and the creation and selling of signature ceramics. Everything is produced by hand, from modeling to decoration and finishing of the pieces.

Alfajar means ceramics in Arabic and after humble beginnings today they have a great shop in the Salvatierra Palace, a Baroque building of the XVIIth century located in front of the Cathedral of Malaga. Their designs recall traditional Greek and Phoenicians ceramics, but they also evoke the modernity of Picassian Cubism or Modigliani figures, both for the shapes of their objects and for their decoration. They also carry out unique works and designs under order and it is common that their works represent the trophies awarded in contests, events and tributes.
