Our design philosophy

Welcome to Botica Amano – where tradition meets innovation

We discovered our passion for ceramics in the heart of Portugal, where a rich ceramic tradition combines centuries-old craftsmanship with contemporary design. At Botica Amano, our aim is to preserve this heritage while breaking new ground.

Our design process is an ongoing dialogue between form and function, aesthetics and everyday practicality. Each of our products tells a story, from the careful selection of the clays to the artistic design of the glazes and the final firing process.

Our designs are strongly influenced by the region, cultural heritage and proximity to the sea. The natural and pastel colours and textures we use reflect the coastal landscapes and maritime flair, while traditional Portuguese shapes from everyday objects are present in every piece. At the same time, the northern school of design, characterised by clean lines, simple shapes and a reduced colour palette, is very much in evidence.

We believe that true beauty is found in simplicity. Our ceramics are characterised by clean lines, natural textures and subtle details that appeal to the senses and exude a timeless elegance.

With Botica Amano, we want to create not only aesthetic products, but also a bridge between the past and the future. Join us in discovering the beauty and diversity of Portuguese ceramics.
