As the manufacture of Ajorí, PhotoAlquimia used porcelain, glass and wood, a fusion of warm and cool materials combined with a careful work of industrial and handicraft production. For the production of porcelain, they employed techniques of slip casting and high pressure. The pieces are finally enamelled and hand painted. The wooden handle hand-carved, polished and finished with vegetable oil and natural wax. The anti-drip cannulas of the cruet are carved by hand, using a colored borosilicate glass.
