In the next three years, Perfina will adopt locally sourced virgin kaolin from Africa, reviving the authentic pottery craftsmanship of Hausa artisans. The clay is repeatedly pounded, decorated with water ripple patterns pressed by palm leaves, then hand-brushed with finely ground ochre ore glaze and fired in a 1280℃ kiln. Each piece retains the warmth of artisans' fingertips, allowing the rustic touch of African earth to reach global tables through kaolin.
The simple brown bowl meets the bright red rim, like a delicate embellishment in the old days. It holds porridge and dishes, giving a unique style to homely meals.
