The ceramic brothers

  • • Lorenzo and Juan represent the third generation of potters in their family
  • • They create tableware for chefs, restaurateurs and hoteliers
  • • They were finalists in the Spanish National Craft Awards

For as long as they can remember, brothers Lorenzo and Juan Manuel Pérez Vinagre have filled their hands with clay and been devoted to the craft. They learned pottery from their grandfather, Lorenzo Vinagre Bermejo. Later, after training in the family workshop, they studied the craft more professionally. Today, Lorenzo is one of the most renowned master artisans in Extremadura, a technician in plastic arts and ceramics from the Escuela Superior de Artes y Oficios de Mérida. Juan also studied ceramics at the same institution and later followed a master’s degree for craft designers at Escuela de Organización Industrial (EOI). In 1989 they launched their first atelier and ten years later, following its success, they turned it into their current brand, Terracota Mérida. They continue to produce archaeological and contemporary pieces, convinced that they contribute to redefining the past, present and future of ceramics.
