Mexican Handmade Chimeneas

We've had a range of handmade clay mexican chimeneas on Alfresia for quite some time and they have proved so popular that we've doubled the range today, introducing some exciting new designs and updating some of the older ones.

One idea we find particularly interesting is the fusion of the old and new.

The Ellipse Chimeneas are a great example of this design ethos. The Chimeneas are handcrafted in Mexico, using the same techniques that the locals have been using for hundreds of years when using clay. This development time means that, today, the product is extremely efficient when burning fuel and allows the fuel to be lit easily.

 The expertise of centuries is poured into their construction. Fused with this traditional crafting is the modern design and styling of these particular chimeneas. They have been built in a round shape, with a huge mouth-shaped opening through which you can see the fire and stoke the flames. They are finished with a number of different coloured glazes.

Handcrafted, they offer great value for money and can even be used inside with the addition of a simple accessory - the Universal Chimenea Burner (see the post below on bio-fuels). Shop the Ellipse Collection today!

Mexico has a range of ceramic traditions that date back to a time before Mexico was Mexico! Today there at least 7 major recognisable styles of Mexican pottery, with many others that are less well known.

This hertiage means that clay products from Mexico are among the best in the world, and they are still made by hand! If you're intereseted in a new chimenea (that can now be used inside or out), check out our range of Mexican Chimeneas on Alfreisa UK. We promise that you won't be disappointed.

Alfresia UK is an online retailer of garden furniture and Chimeneas.
