why is welsh slate so unique?Across centuries and through generations, Welsh Slate has been highly-prized
for its endurance and enigmatic beauty. It was formed here beneath our feet over
500 million years ago and is shaped by the hands of skilled British craftspeople.
The material for Welsh Slate was created when the movement of Techtronic plates
forced the sea bed to form the mountain ranges of north Wales. Pressure from
over 560 million years has fossilized minerals on the sea bed floor creating this
uniquely colored and uniquely strong material that is older than the dinosaurs.
Welsh Slate has been exporting slateware for over 200 years, building a global
reputation of the being the best slate in the world.
time-tested strength and ageless beautySlateware unifies the natural beauty of 500 million year old Welsh slate with the demands of contemporary
cuisine. The blend of sophisticated warm hues with a unique rich natural texture creates a perfect balance of
soft allure and striking detail. The artistry of Welsh Slate tableware is the remarkable blend of elegance, natural
beauty and performance. Each product is hand-finished, most are dishwasher safe, and some feature natural
veinings, making each item totally unique.
