Sebastian Perez Ceramic, located in the
Northwest of the Region of Murcia, is located in the small town of Valentin, a small town settled, as its name
suggests (VAL, valley, LENTIN, mud, mud valley) over a zone of rich clays, marl from the decomposition of aluminous
rocks and silicates with great absorption of water.
The
beginning of ceramics in this area must date back to the Late Bronze
Age, some 3,800 years ago, although there are vestiges of the Neolithic period
in the nearby Sierra de La Puerta (6,000 years ago). The origin of Valentin is roman, in century I a. C
and its history is linked to ceramics mainly. We received visits from colleges,
universities, working groups from many countries through the Chamber of
Commerce of Murcia, etc., interested in our history and our know-how, which in
very little has changed from our predecessors.
Clay + water
+ biomass: they are the
only elements that intervene in our products and that our hands combine in
their right measure.
In Sebastian Perez, through its eight
generations, we worked these rich clays with our hands, in
the same way as our ancestors, with a totally handmade
manufacturing process, making bricks, tiles and roof
tiles
with some technical characteristics, that always have had them, are very
precious in the construction and decoration of our days, such as, among others,
thermal insulation, acoustic insulation, durability, freezing, resistance to
compression, etc. Special
mention to the boom of the bio-construction in which our products have great
acceptance, 100% natural, ecological. Another aspect to take into account is the
baking of our products, these are cooked with biomass (orujillo, almond shell,
...) which, together with the characteristics of the clays, provide an
authentic, genuine, showy and very personal flamed, each of the pieces that makes them
unique, none is equal to another in this sense. These tones range from straw,
pink, salmon to reddish, which in the final product provide a random
combination of very pleasant tones, comforting peace and tranquility to the
senses.
As
manual products we adapt to the needs of the client, especially in the restorations of old buildings, Making
exact reproductions of existing parts, etc., special mention should be made of
the manufacture of innumerable pieces for the city of Pompeii and Royal Palace
of Caserta, both a World Heritage Site by Unesco or Palazzo Barberini in Rome,
among others..
