Designs by Mara

Mara, an accomplished painter, sculptor
and ceramicist, studied engraving with
the famous artist Alfredo Zalce. After
studying art in Lundon, she began
working with high-temperature ceramics
and created wonderfully unique glazes
for her pieces.
Mara Stoneware, flowers, birds and
geometric designs all represent her
personal vision and display her unique
perceptions of the world.

Prado Stoneware

Prado Ceramics is a unique
stoneware success story of the
synergistic blending of stoneware
designs from Rodo Padilla and
Juan Prado. Prado, renown
restaurateur of the very popular
La Terraza de la Abuela, explored
stoneware production possibilities
for his restaurants with Rodo
Padilla.

The happy result of their
relationship is the continuation of
the ever popular Mug Tree and
Accessories line by Padilla and the
fabulous square tableware
designs and bold new glazes from
Prado that can be seen here.

Frank Howell Stoneware

Frank Howell, renowned American Artist, was
a child prodigy who began creating
commissioned portrait sculptures at the
tender age of sixteen.
After many successful decades as artist and
teacher, Howell has semi-retired to Mexico
where he continues to teach pottery classes,
experiment with new designs and produce
his fine stoneware through Prado Ceramics.
The wonderful designs you see here are the
result of Frank's years of experience and
retail successes in creating the most
user-friendly and beautiful functional pottery
available in the U.S.
