Criolla in Colombia: Classic Enamelware for the Modern Home
It was in Someware Goods’ collection of Colombian-made products that we first spied Criolla enamelware. Started by three young Colombians in 2014, the Bogotá-based company seeks to ?bring back enamelware with all its brilliance and glory,? says LucÃa Tapiero, one of the founders. ?In Colombia, enamelware conjures countryside life, where most of our families come from,? Tapiero says. ?In one way or another, it has belonged in our lives and our memories thanks to our mothers and grandmothers, but over time it has become rare and difficult to find.? Now, Tapiero and her co-founders, Margarita Salcedo and Esteban Ucros, use their combined backgrounds in architecture, art, design, and cultural heritage to create sturdy enamelware for the modern Colombian home. Here, our favorite classic pieces from their collection. (Criolla does not currently have an online shop; to buy, email them directly or look for their products on Someware Goods.)

The stackable baking trays (now available in red, white, and black) and bowls (available in three sizes) are ideal for baking. (The trays are also available for $23 through Someware Goods.)
