Ceramics are not all the same ceramics. If you are looking for durable, stylish and colourful tableware that does more than just look pretty, it’s worth taking a closer look – especially when it comes to handmade pieces. In this article, we show you what to look out for when you want to buy ceramics online, why handmade ceramics from Portugal are so special – and why the colourful products from Egg Back Home are just right for your everyday life.
Why handmade ceramics?
Industrial mass-produced goods may be inexpensive, but they rarely match the quality, individuality and durability that handmade ceramics offer. Each piece is unique – with small irregularities that make it truly special.
Egg Back Home produces all its products in Portugal using traditional techniques. That means real craftsmanship, real passion and real quality – for centuries.
How can you recognise high-quality ceramics?
When buying ceramics, you should pay attention to the following features:
Weight & feel: High-quality ceramics feel solid, sit comfortably in the hand and are neither too light nor too heavy.
Glaze: An even, glossy or matte glaze without bubbles or cracks is a good sign.
Details: Take a look at the rim, the base and any hand-painted elements – they quickly show whether care and attention were involved.
Tip: Ceramic tableware that is dishwasher- and microwave-safe is especially practical for everyday use.
Egg Back Home – colourful, robust and simply beautiful
The brand Egg Back Home stands for cheerful colours, timeless shapes and sustainable production. Whether ceramic mugs, breakfast plates or complete colourful tableware sets – these products bring good vibes to your table.
And the best part? Everything is made in Portugal – with local know-how, traditional craftsmanship and a strong commitment to quality.
Ceramics for every day – and every meal
You don’t need a huge collection – just a few well-chosen pieces are enough to give your dining table character:
Breakfast plates: Ideal for starting the day in style.
Ceramic mugs: For coffee, tea or hot chocolate – it tastes twice as good.
Bowls & plates: For salads, pasta or small snacks – robust and versatile.
A mix of colours looks especially lively and can be combined perfectly.
