Handmade Spanish Ceramics for a lifetime of memories

The Story Behind the Name

Once upon a time, the Spanish journalist Nuria Roca Granell hosted a morning radio show called "Lo Mejor Que Te Puede Pasar" or The Best Thing that Could Happen to You, an ambitious name for a set that aired between 6am and 10 am, when most people are dreading getting up to get to work.

Yet, Roca Granell won her audience over with good cheer and her entire team was hilarious.

One day, ELLE Magazine Editor Cristina Mitre came on the show. They opened with the usual introduction and then asked her: “How are you?” And, she responded: “Pletórica.”

I understood the word because "pletórica" led me to “plethora" but I had never heard it used as an adjective. I’ve been thinking about that word and its meaning ever since.

What does it mean to feel pletórica?

A person, a landscape or a home can be pletórica – full of life, joy, energy.

Pletórica is plenitude.

It’s an attitude. It's our personal mission. It's our hope for you, your family and your home.

May you have plenty; may you recognize it and delight in it.

Cheers,
DJ, Chief Happiness Officer, CASA PLETÓRICA

We make small batches of unique ceramic pieces for the home

We are homebodies who've embarked on a wild adventure. We want to make our living spaces cosier but we can't find the pieces we’ve seen in our grandmothers’ homes at the big-box stores. We are on a journey to reclaim these beautiful designs and honor the craftspeople who have kept our traditions alive for centuries.

We craft top quality one-of-a-kind pieces that we love for their beauty as much as for their durability. Tucked away in small workshops, our alfareros —potters— are still making ceramics the way their forebears did. By hand, piece by piece. No two plates will ever be the same.

We work with our artisan partners to create modern variations of antique Spanish crockery
