The predecessor of THE STONEWARE POTTERY, INC. was founded in 1994 by Clemens Wirth and Manolo Glema as Glema Stoneware Ceramic Craft Ltd. Co.. In the year 2002, Manolo decided to set up his own ceramic business and left the company. Now this German-Filipino joint venture is a corporation. Like its German mother company TÖPFEREI WIRTH, THE STONEWARE POTTERY, INC. also specializes in high quality stoneware ceramic fired at 1220 C. Our main product lines are kitchenware, tableware and ornamental ceramics. The raw materials -- clay and glaze -- are imported from Germany. Because our main target is to serve the needs of the private household and restaurants, we can assure you that the glaze we use is free of lead or other poisonous ingredients. All our items are suited to the standard of the modern household and restaurant: They are ovenproof, microwaveproof, and dishwasherproof as well.
Our prices are ex-works. Packaging for any kind of shipment will be charged at cost. The statement of account is due at the day of delivery. Any divergent agreement should be noted on the job order. |
As
the production process is purely handmade -- by free forming on
the potter's wheel and applying the glaze by dipping and firing
in an LPG-fired kiln -- please take note that the products can
vary slightly in size, shape and color. This is the traditional
way of making ceramics which gives our products the warm touch
of the heart. Each piece has its own characteristics.Address: Zone

MANOLO AND CLEMENS When they founded Glema Stoneware in 1994, Manolo and Clemens had already known each other for several years, because Clemens had worked as a consultant in a development aid program for Bulua ceramists. When the shop was transformed into a corporation, Clemens and the employees became its stockholders. Clemens comes
to the Philippines several times a year. He is in charge of medium
and long-term decisions concerning the further development of the
enterprise and the products, and the further training of THE STONEWARE
POTTERY employees in
all commercial and technical aspects. |
