Penzo Ceramics Functional Art
| Talented men and women with enormous artistic potential face untold disadvantages in Africa today. Penzo’s philosophy is to capture and nourish this potential to enable each person to develop a marketable skill, pride and pleasure in their accomplishments and thereby giving them a meaningful place in society.
Although profit oriented, the success of Penzo has allowed the establishment of an Educational Program for underprivileged youth and helps with much needed financial support to various wildlife conservation projects.
Each artist signs and dates their piece and a generous portion of proceeds from the sale of Penzo is given to causes that directly benefit both wildlife conservation and the ongoing attempt to educate native Africans to observe and report corruption, poaching and other abuses that continue to endanger their animals and preserves. Besides these contributions, hundreds of school fees for children are made available by Penzo and the numbers are ever increasing. In short, Penzo ware is a living, highly functional piece of artwork, which guarantees an original, stylish element to your home and is certain to enhance your table for any and all occasions.
Approved by the Food and Drug Administration and maintaining the highest quality and standards to meet Western demands, the end product, despite originating from a developing country, easily challenges and competes with all the World’s greatest ceramic houses, resulting in an overwhelming demand from discerning buyers and collectors the world over.
Penzo is a joyous declaration of Africa, its people and its character.
Each piece of Penzo tableware is handmade and no two pieces are alike in decoration. Made in Zimbabwe, Africa, from very high quality imported white earthenware clay and using only approved glazes, every product is a completely unique, handcrafted and exuberant creation from the mind and the soul of its decorator. All pieces are signed by the artist. It is food safe, non-toxic, microwave and dishwasher friendly. A piece of Africa in all her glory in your home.
