You may have experienced high Chimenea and pottery breakage in
the past, this is normal for clay products from the Guadalajara
region of Mexico. Pottery clay from that region has a high sand
content and is inherently weak. Tecate clay is the strongest in
Mexico (strong enough for Chimeneas to support themselves with legs
made of Tecate clay), this coupled with our high fire and
palletizing system allow our pottery to withstand cross docking
& L.T.L. delivery, along with years of customer
satisfaction.

Mexican Terracotta Pottery of TecateThere is a band of Tecate
clay that is 25 miles wide and stretches South 60 miles from the
Northern Baja border, the only place in the world that has this
strong Tecate clay —the strongest in Mexico. Traditionally the clay
has been used to make floor tile, roof tile and pottery.
It is this clay that PR Imports uses to make pottery in Tecate,
Mexico. By combining the clay with a binder, grinding it, soaking
in water (slaking) and mixing (pugging) the clay, it is ready to be
made (thrown) into a pot.
The designs are HAND CRAFTED by the artisan. The process takes
one week from throwing the pot, designing, drying and finally
firing at a high temperature for 12 hours, still using a
traditional (recycled) wood fire, holding true to the traditional
method of kiln firing.
You can tell a good pot if it is rosy red (good clay) and rings
like a bell (high fire).
From the kiln the red clay pots are dipped in pottery sealer for
longer life. Pottery is then shipped directly from the factory to
the garden center. PR Imports pays for customs brokers and shipping
to the border.
All PR Imports pottery is the highest quality and guaranteed for
life.
