ABOUT A WORLD OF POTTERY
A World of Pottery is family owned business that began in 1991, manufacturing and exporting fine decorative clay pots from the small town of Tonala, located in the state of Jalisco, México. The operation was started with 4 to 5 pottery containers that were shipped to the USA and Canada. By 1998, the company was exporting up to 72 containers of pottery a year and decided t
o expand its wholesale base by establishing operations in Chula Vista, CA. For the past 17 years, we have been distributing our products to nurseries across California. Our pottery is hand made in the long recognized artisan town of Tonala. The clay found in that region is an inherent mixture of both red and black clay, which produces ideal pottery. Red clay allows for wonderful molding and design while black clay greatly extends the piece's lifetime. This combination of clay, with a moderate amount of limestone produces water absorbing pottery, allowing both plants and pots to have a longer life. The pottery artisans of Tonala possess many generations of expert meticulous control in manufacturing products of excellent quality. The artisans hand paint pottery from a combination of 5 colors making unique dyes that are then sealed, both inside and outside, to ensure longevity use of the pottery,
