Cagayan de Oro: THE STONEWARE POTTERY


In Cagayan de Oro, Barangay Bulua is known as the “ clay country”.  One of its treasures is the STONEWARE POTTERY located in Zone 8.
COMPANY PROFILE
The predecessor of THE STONEWARE POTTERY, INC. was founded in 1994 by Clemens Wirth and Manolo Glema as Glema Stoneware Ceramic Craft Ltd. Co.. In the year 2002, Manolo decided to set up his own ceramic business and left the company. Now this German-Filipino joint venture is a corporation. Like its German mother company TÖPFEREI WIRTH, THE STONEWARE POTTERY, INC. also specializes in high quality stoneware ceramic fired at 1220 C.
Our main product lines are kitchenware, tableware and ornamental ceramics. The raw materials -- clay and glaze -- are imported from Germany.
Because our main target is to serve the needs of the private household and restaurants, we can assure you that the glaze we use is free of lead or other poisonous ingredients. All our items are suited to the standard of the modern household and restaurant: They are ovenproof, microwaveproof, and dishwasherproof as well.
As the production process is purely handmade -- by free forming on the potter's wheel and applying the glaze by dipping and firing in an LPG-fired kiln -- please take note that the products can vary slightly in size, shape and color. This is the traditional way of making ceramics which gives our products the warm touch of the heart. Each piece has its own characteristics.
Our prices are ex-works. Packaging for any kind of shipment will be charged at cost. The statement of account is due at the day of delivery. Any divergent agreement should be noted on the job order.
Address: Zone 8, Bulua, 9000 Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.
Phone and Fax: (63-08822) 735603

THE DISPLAY AREA.
Superb local and for export quality.







THE PRODUCTION AREA.
So, this is how you do it ha!





Note: The place is a two-jeepney ride, one 5-minute walk, and one motorcab-with-pump boat-engine  ride. And we actually got lost.
