About Casafina
45+ years of Portuguese craftsmanship, sustainable production, and timeless design
Our Story
Casafina was founded in 1981 in Portugal, a country with a rich ceramic heritage dating back centuries. What began as a small family business dedicated to preserving traditional Portuguese pottery techniques has grown into an internationally recognized brand synonymous with quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design.
Today, Casafina is part of the Grestel Group, one of Europe's leading ceramic manufacturers. Despite our growth, we've never lost sight of our founding principles: exceptional quality, authentic craftsmanship, and respect for both tradition and innovation. Every piece of Casafina stoneware is still made in Portugal, where our artisans bring decades of experience to each handcrafted item.
Our collections—from the coastal-inspired Pacifica to the rustic elegance of Forum—reflect our deep connection to Portuguese and Mediterranean culture. We believe that beautiful tableware enhances not just meals, but the moments of connection and celebration that happen around the table.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we create
Craftsmanship
Every piece is hand-finished by skilled Portuguese artisans who take pride in their work. We believe in the human touch that makes each item unique and special.
Sustainability
Environmental responsibility is central to our production. We recycle 99% of water, use single-firing processes, and create pieces built to last generations, not seasons.
Timeless Design
We create pieces that transcend trends. Our designs honor Mediterranean heritage while embracing modern aesthetics, ensuring your Casafina dinnerware never goes out of style.
Manufacturing Excellence
Made in Portugal
All Casafina stoneware is manufactured in Portugal, where ceramic traditions have been perfected over centuries. Our factories are located in regions with deep pottery heritage, where artisan skills are passed down through generations.
By keeping production in Portugal, we support local communities, preserve traditional craftsmanship, and maintain rigorous quality control over every piece that bears the Casafina name.
Quality Control
Every piece undergoes rigorous inspection to ensure it meets our exacting standards for durability, glaze consistency, and aesthetic quality.
Hand-Finishing
Skilled artisans hand-finish edges, apply specialized glazes, and add unique touches that distinguish Casafina from mass-produced alternatives.
Sustainable Process
Our Monocottura single-firing technique reduces energy consumption while creating superior vitrified stoneware.
The Casafina Production Process
Creating Casafina stoneware requires expertise at every stage. From selecting the finest clay to hand-finishing each piece after firing, our process combines modern technology with traditional techniques.
The result is dinnerware that's not only beautiful but also incredibly durable, fully vitrified, and safe for all modern kitchen appliances including dishwashers, microwaves, ovens, and freezers.
From Portugal to Your Table
While our roots are firmly planted in Portuguese soil, Casafina dinnerware graces tables around the world. We're proud to bring European craftsmanship and Mediterranean design to homes across North America, where families and friends gather to share meals and create memories.
Whether you're setting an elegant dinner party or enjoying a casual family meal, Casafina stoneware brings a touch of Portuguese heritage and artisan quality to every occasion.
